Less expensive options are thr Gossen DigiPro F2 for $267, the Sekonic L-308S for $210, and the Gossen Sixtomat F2 for $192 If you have no plans to use Pocket Wizard units, get the L-478D-U. If you use Pocket Wizard units (or plan on using them in the future), get the L-478DR-U. The L-478DR-U works with Pocket Wizard radio remotes to control cameras and studio flash units. The “R” in the L-478DR-U stands for “radio”.
If I were buying an incident light meter today my first choice would be the Sekonic L-478D-U or L-478DR-U for $399. Although it is no longer manufactured you can still find the Sekonic L-358 on the used marketplace for about $225. I did a lot of research before deciding the Sekonic L-358 was the best modern light meter for both my landscape photography and portrait photography in the studio. Both meters will measure incident light as well as light from an electronic flash. The two meters I use the most are the Sekonic L-358 and the Gossen Luna-Pro F (no longer manufactured but worth finding on the used market). Minolta meters are worth finding on the used market. Polaris meters also have an excellent reputation and a lower price. My favorite incident light meters are made by Sekonic and Gossen. There is a lot more information on metering and using an incident light meter in my highly rated book (five stars at ), Digital Photography Exposure for Dummies.

To learn why this is important and how to use an incident light, read this article.
Many incident light meters can also measure light from an electronic flash, a huge bonus when you are using a flash in the manual mode.Īn incident light meter is so quick and simple to use because it meters the light falling on the subject, rather than the light that is reflected off the subject. There’s no question that in some complex metering situations, an incident light meter can be quicker, faster, simpler, and more accurate than the meter in your camera.
