Hi, given that money is tight, and you don't have really specific needs, I'd suggest that you just hang back until a really good deal shows up. The final caveat is that I am on a tight budget, as my wages aren't high and our dollar (Canadian) is currently quite low in value. Additionally, I would prefer to find a metering device that functions well in lower light settings (I like to do some night photography, particularly on the street). It is unclear to me whether the dedicated spot meters and dedicated incident meters (what few there are) out there are better at their tasks individually than devices that carry both apparatus. ![]() This has widened my search to include combined incident/spot meter combination units. From my admittedly limited understanding, incident metering is most handy here. However, I realise that later, I may get my hands on some studio lights, and some flash equipment. So I've been looking at some newer used Sekonic models, namely the 778, 758, 558 and 508 Considering I mostly shoot outdoors, I figured that a spot meter would do me the most good. ![]() It doesn't really offer much in the way of precision, and I think it's really spoiling some shots. I've been using a little Sekonic reflective reading meter for years, one of those 30 degree ones that sits in a brown leather casing.
