Re: Incident meter suggestions wanted

[Daniel Liu]

I don't know too much about light meters, but i do know that the 
sekonic meters that don't use batteries use a solar powered selinium 
cell to measure light, which are fine outdoors, but are something of a 
problem in low light. I have an old sekonic AL-86 (not an incident 
meter, btw) that uses a selinium cell and only meters down to 6 EV with 
asa100 film, when most modern cameras meter all the way down to 0 ev. 
So, my suggestion would be to get something with a battery.

Hello,

Many say that the Sekonic is a good choice.  Thank you for your
suggestion as well.
I use different meters for different purposes - spot meter, in camera
meter, my personal internal meter, so incident meter will be good
addition for some subjects and situations.

I have newer and more low-light sensitve meters but it sounds like the
simple and accurate Sekonic L-398 might be an option for you.

obviously isn't for everyone but for many of us, knowing how much
light is falling on a scene is the most valuable information for a
starting point on proper exposure.
