Lightmeter suggestion

[iskoos]

I need a simple but a useful light meter that shows the ambient lighting in EV unit on a simple LCD screen.

I am not looking for so hitech and expensive gear that has zillions of settings. A simple pocket unit with a single button will work. I would like it to have ISO dial-in but it is still okay if it doesn't have. (as long as the readings are for ISO 100).

I am not looking for something with analog display or something that shows the value in other units than EV. And I would like for it to be under 100 bucks.

Do I have a chance?

Thanks

Sekonic L-308s. Incident, reflected, and strobed. (look for a used one)

Little hope for under $100 with your requirements.

Cool! I'll file that away for future reference. I think I'd miss the flash metering though.

I liked the Gossen except those shutter speed/f stop dials. I really don't need this meter to tell me what settings I need to use to get the correct exposure. All I want is to be able to read the ambient lighting in EV.

See the link below? I know it is a whole different stuff but I was looking for something this simple. You press the button it shows the light intensity in EV value. That's it. But looks like light meters are not as simple as I thought.
