I found it pretty consistent comparing to results from another member. I might be lucky tho. Anway it's greater use is the comparative one and to check the sag. Any meter can do that.
A: Seperate sensor from the display for when I build a IS.
B: Memory for the highest reading since I will be doing my readings at longer distances and alone
So I looked around and for the precious few reviews I could find for budget lightmeters this one seems to come somewhat recommended. I did find few reviews of pricier ones but I just dont have the dough.
Just hope mine works. I've got a few lights that I want to test that I have found results for from others so I can compare. Then I can get a rough estimation of what the correction is. And then I can test the monster thrower I want to build. And, and, and... :-)
