I use a Gossen Luna-Star F (current model is the F2) and a Sekonic Studio Deluxe. The Gossen not only does flash & ratios, normal ambient, mixed, but you can enter filter factors, bellows factors, anything that changes the amount of light that reaches the film, which will automatically be computed into the reading. That way you don't have to remember to compute it yourself, manually, after you take a reading. I suspect that the Sekonic digital & the Minoltas also do this. I have had the Sekonic Studio Deluxe meter for decades. It doesn't use batteries. It's always there. And it always works. I mostly use the Gossen. I use the Sekonic as a backup when the Gossen battery gives up, and I don't have a spare. I also use it as a sanity check when I'm having trouble believing what I'm reading with the Gossen. Neither the Gossen or the Sekonic have ever let me down. Jim
