Debby - I use the Gossen Luna Star F2, it is a digital meter
with
standard incident/reflected readings, flash readings.
This meter uses normal 9 volt batteries.
I normally use this for general studio photography
with electronic flash units.
This gives me great readings for travel photography with
the Leica M6 outfit, 35mm, 50mm, 90mm lenses, 2 bodies in
a lightweight case.

Subject: [Leica] Light meter for M6
Could some of you more experienced M users recommend a small
light-meter to
have in my camera bag with M6- 28mm, 50mm and 90mm lenses? I
found on a
recent trip to the Adirondacks that I could have used it for
some difficult
late afternoon glaring sun situations.
By the way, on the topic of the "weight of the M thread." I
have
difficulties carrying heavy weight since some surgery a few
years back. I
bought the M6 and above lenses because of the lighter weight
and carry it
with ease along with a Metz 32. I wouldn't give up the quality.
But I have
found that some people just don't like Leicas and will trash
them at first
opportunity.
