Product Description

The newest member in the Gossen family of high quality meters, the Digiflash is small enough to sit comfortably on your camera's hot shoe (with optional shoe adapter). The meter sports a digital read-out and an analog scale for light levels that can be measured in reflective or incident mode. In addition, the Digiflash offers a functioning clock with an alarm, a timer for timing long exposures, plus a precision digital thermometer which measures temperatures and stores a high and low value. All of this fits into an unbelievably small package (3 x 2 x 1 inch) with trendy styling, which is easy and comfortable to operate. The Digiflash is microprocessor controlled and runs on a Lithium battery type CR 2032. The meter weighs approximately 1.5 oz including battery

4.0 out of 5 stars The litter meter that could, June 4, 2009

For it's size I love it. I shoot with the same ISO and I'm looking for a quick check of the light. I shoot weddings, so I NEED to be fast and get it right the first time.

I gave it four stars because their are better meters out there that do a lot more for a lot more money. I had no problems with its functions. I was able to change my ISO just fine.

I don't use all its functions, but that fine. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you're looking for a small simple meter you can't go wrong with this meter.

3.0 out of 5 stars small, but not very accurate, August 23, 2010

Gossen makes some nice meters, I have many of them. The only real value of this meter is its very small size... but as mentioned, the settings are not intuitive, but workable. But most importantly the readings vary widely when compared to Gossen and Sekonics higher end meters. If your shooting neg film, this is fine, if its chrome, I would get a larger, more accurate meter. And remember, all these meters are only calibrated to one color temp. light...mostly around 5000 - 6000 deg. Kelvin. (very hard to get the makers to give you this info) Some of the older Sekonic flash meters are actually calibrated to 2300 Kelvin. Why does this matter? Because if the color temperature light you are in, does not match the meters calibrated source, the readings can be way off. This is true of all the meters though, not just this little guy...chrome (slide) film has very small exposure lattitude, so exposure readings are critical. I have better luck with the little Sekonic, as its all manual, which I prefer in these type meters.

While this is a great light meter, as are all Gossen meters, I would not recommend it to anyone. Operations such as ISO changes are by menus that are selected by holding down the lower button for what ever time the little meter wants, sometime a couple seconds sometimes minutes will go by (no kidding here). This sometimes works, but usually only when one has time to wait for it. If sitting in a chair playing with the thing this is fine, but out in the field when checking light conditions and different speeds, this is extremely frustrating. I junked mine and size be d... I'm going back to my old analog Gossen F meter or maybe just forget off camera incident readings and chimp from the camera meter.
