It is primarily a incident light meter that is also a flash meter and a variable spot meter (1 to 4 degree angle of view). I find it very accurate and easy to use although expensive. Leon --- ljdavenportphotography.com is a webfolio of my best work. It has color and black and white images. Landscapes taken on a trip through Death Valley and south western Nevada highlight the current offerings. There is a photo essay that I did in 1977.

I have got a Sekonic L-508 Zoom Master and I am very happy with it. It has spot measuring (1-4º), incident and reflexed lightmeter and other option as flash and multi-flash metering, EV metering. I recommend it. ----- Original Message ----- From: okw3188 To: hassy Sent: Monday, February 28, 2000 11:26 AM Subject: which exposure meter > I'm in the midst of buying a exposure meter, would prefer to come with a > spot meter, any recommendation is greatly appreciated. > > > Thank You > KW Ow. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > The Hasselblad Users Group Listserv is a public service of Absolute Internet, Inc., which is not responsible for its content.

The owner asked why my prints looked different than his without exposure adjustments and I showed him my sekonic, its significantly bigger but not heavy and I believe it is easier to hold due to its size. The overall quality is higher than a minolta and you will find that it is also more acurate as I did. The Minolta is also very supsceptible to moisture and it has since broken since being on an outdoor shoot in drizzle, you'll apreciate the resistance and durability of the Sekonic. The zoom is an excellent addition for not much more and give you the ability to cut down on extra equipment when it is not critical to carry a lot of gear, the zoom is great because sometimes you need it. Something I also like very much is the fact that Sekonic carries a 3 year warranty on their products, includes a strap, and weather resistant cordura case with the meter so it can be worn on a belt. I have found it is extremely precise with a hassy and slide film and if you need to make exposure adjustments due to film or camera you can adjust the meter to do it automatically.

It is a great meter, when used indoors at = low illumination levels. It tends to give false readings in sunny = situations when using a flash. It does not handle very high flash = illumination in any case, such as F32 at ASA 100. I think their Luna Star = F II may be better. Is the Sekonic good at high illumination situations.

As you'd imagine, both these are pricey. OP-TECH makes one of their neoprene+elastic straps with Hasselblad clips. It's called the "Super-Pro" strap but make sure you specify for Hassy because they also have a model for Pentax 67/Bronica studs. I happen to like the OP-TECH straps because they have quick-connectors which if you undo them and remove the neckstrap part you can join the end pieces together and have a convenient hand-carry strap. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 19:04:09 -0800 From: "olenberger" To: Subject: Re: Neck strap for 500 CM Message-ID: <005401bf8261$a784cc80$aba91f3f@default> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0051_01BF821E.97F97100 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I use the 59110 Standard Strap for my 500 CM.

Each will read a scene and if you know that particular meter's characteristics, it will work. I've done commercial work in the U.S. and Canada for 22 years. I also teach "studio" in a Design College here in Calgary. In the studio I use incident for setting lights. On location, I use "spot" for setting the camera. Started with Sekonic. Ever since the Minolta Flashmeter IV came out I have used it exclusively. Although it is only a 5 degree spot attachment, I have never needed more. But there have been times I needed to take off that spot attachment. A very accurate meter, as are most, if you know how to use them. If at all possible, I recommend trying the serious "finalists" and buy the one that "feels" right. Kind of like cameras!!!
