I'm getting my education loan soon, and can spend some cash on equipment. I want a hand held light meter, mainly to be used with my analogue rangefinders, whose meters I don't fully trust - they're old
So, I've understood that incident light meters are the most accurate. However, these require me to be standing in the exact lighting as my subject. Are these a pain to use for landscapes? On a sunny day, I would expect that taking a reading in the sun would be accurate enough for the entire scene, given that the scene is in direct sunlight.
I really want my exposures to be as good as possible when shooting film. Am I much better off investing in a decent incident light meter? I'm willing to spend up to $350 on this.
If someone could help me, maybe even share models that they think would fit my needs, I'd be very grateful!
Regards,
Anders
