If you're never around computers or magnetic media, then no problem- but for some this may be a big issue.

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.
