On powering up, there is a useful battery-check scale and automatic power shutdown after 5mins, while a memory feature retains all the settings when the meter is turned off or the battery changed. The Polaris is a compact flash and ambient lightmeter that is exceptionally well made and versatile for its price. I particularly like the вЂAnalyzeвЂ™ function, which calculates the exposure ratio of ambient light to flash in a mixed-light setting, and when fill-in is needed to augment natural light. The display shows the aperture readout in 1/10-stop increments, and ambient light sensitivity is sufficient for a shutter speed range from 30min-1/8000sec. The simple layout of the controls and the clearly marked buttons, along with a large, easy-to-read LCD display, make the KFM-1100 easy to use. It measures incident and reflected ambient light, as well as flash output, thanks to a removable invercone. The KFM-1100 looks similar to my old meter, and is the base model of the series.

#GOSSEN DIGIPRO F EXPOSURE METER MANUAL#

This meter provides many possibilities and options, and a long, calm reading of the manual is essential to get the best from it. The build quality is excellent, with tight-fitting rubber dust covers over the sync and USB sockets, and a very neat telescopic diffuser dome fitted to the rotating measuring sensor. The feel and layout of the meterвЂ™s controls are very similar to other Sekonic models over the past few decades, but the added features lift it to stratospheric levels of sophistication. Compatibility with PocketWizard technology is built in, allowing you to control and trigger your flash devices from the meter. Profile settings specific to your camera can be fine-tuned using SekonicвЂ™s Data Transfer Software, or the data can be entered manually.

SekonicвЂ™s LiteMaster Pro is a digital lightmeter with a difference, as it features a colour touchscreen that allows you to scroll through the menus, adjust settings and take readings for continuous and flash lighting through the whole range of still and moving image capture. Covering a wide measuring range with exceptional accuracy, this lightmeter covers exposure times from 1/8000sec-60mins, and flash sync speeds up to 1/1000sec. The sensor head swivels up and over in two click settings, and it feels as though it will always perform when needed. The Digipro F2 is beautifully designed with all controls under the thumb on the front panel and the flash sync socket on the side. Measuring flash and continuous light in all situations from studio to location and filming, it covers incident and reflected readings. After your post I have complete confidence it the ruggedness of this meter.Gossen is a name synonymous with high-quality light measurement and the Digipro F2 is no exception, with a large display and a simple interface that can be operated straight out of the box with barely a glance at the instructions. I have to say, before your post I was wondering how durable the L-398 meter would be. Quite a testament to the ruggedness of Sekonic meters. Reminds me of some of those old Leica Rangefinders which have literally been through a war and continue to keep on ticking. You can also get pack of 'high' slides to direct read shutter speed at particular f stop/iso combination as I recall (actually I think maybe they are to directly read f-stop but maybe not for 1/iso-I don't recall precisely).That is one impressive Sekonic meter. One nice thing about the sekonic is you can paste your own modifictions on it-I added direct high (w/ slide) and low (w/o slide) reading f-stop at about 1/iso sec-see attached. I had the sekonics (second one after my kit was stolen) since mid 1960's, and the cell never changed/was 100% reliable. But for reflected readings (which your dslr can do/is a usable meter), or very low light, the gossen can do what the sekonic is poor at, or cannot do. If mostly incident and not very low light-the sekonic is much more convenient. I have used a gossen meter (lesser version to the one you are considering) and sekonic е…ѓ98 (and essentially same one L27C or something like that), and of course it depends.
