Hmm, there are already a number of reflective light meter apps ... I wonder how accurate this incident metering is.

i,too,would like to see how they stack up against an actual,purpose built meter.I have "Pocket Light Meter" on my phone.Sometimes it's given me some questionable results.Could be user error,but I'm not sure

For reflective light metering I use my camera, for incident light metering I can use a Gossen Variosix F I've had since forever. It has a PC flash connection for firing strobes or speed lights. By connecting a cheap flash to it with the flash covered up with developed unexposed colour film it serves well as a wireless trigger for the optical slave trigger of the strobes and speed lights.

Does not get as much use anymore with the instant feedback of digital imaging.
