5.0 out of 5 stars Dead simple to use, October 12, 2006
By Keith Nichols (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This meter is dead easy to use, largely because it is not cluttered with features most of us don't need often if ever. This meter is one you put at the subject location or hold in the sun to obtain a single reading. If you want to read various locations in a scene and have your meter provide an "average" reading, this meter is not for you -- you'll have to figure the average in your head.

It has the advantage of using easily obtained and relatively cheap batteries, which in a pinch can be pirated from other devices most of us have around the place, such as small flashlights and TV remote controls.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice- but not for portraiture, February 6, 2008
By A. Joki "Andrea" (Helsinki, Finland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is really nice as an inexpensive light meter. But it only works with setting the shutter. You can't set in the aperture and get a shutter speed. Since aperture is so important for portraiture, I've had to return this and get a model that lets me set aperture and get shutter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for this price, February 2, 2007
By Mulder (Hungary, Europe) - See all my reviews
This is the cheapest usable digital flash + ambient light meter but it works very accurate and well. If you need spot reflected light metering, this is not your one becouse of the wide angle of view.
