light meters?

[skatephoto]

Can someone give me some info on light meters. I dont own one and was wondering how important it would be to get one and what kind. How do they work. Also i dont have much money how much would a decent one go for. thanks

I think that if your camera has a good working light meter built in, then you don't really need an extra one.

many different types of metering. my suggestion:

see that 'search' link? click it. type in 'meter'. there've been many conversations here about them. for example:
