Get a used Sekonic L-308, it should be less than $100.

There's really no reason to use the pictured type of light meter unless you're shooting a camera that lacks a light meter.

Digital ones can be handy if you have a multiple source flash set up...

What do you want one for?

my camera is old and at night the amount of light is often below the meters range. i mean taking pics without flash at around 2 sec exposure

Hay guys i have a related question.

My canonet just died, which was my main camera. I have a Kiev 2 here with a jupitar 8m which i got for free. Now i'm not fully comfortable with judging eV by eye yet. I would like the most insanely cheap lightmeter avainlible. Seriously there can't be much to em. I'm a poor cunt so if i have to spend more then 50 bucks i'm just going to rip oit the meter from the canonet and maybe use a small digital multimeter or something.

Also, does anyone know if the kiev 2 veiwfinder represents a 50mm field of view?

I have a Gossen Luna Pro, slightly older than the one in OP's pic. I use it when I want to take pics with my Yashica D, which lacks an internal meter.

D'oh, I was about to start a lecture on how much camera meters suck, and how a meter's almost always better, and then I realized you were talking about the old-style ones from OP's pic.

But, yeah, meters are a godsend at night or in a dark place. I did a shoot of a big gilded altar inside a Mission chapel, using a completely manual 4x5 camera, and got some amazing stuff with very little lighting of my own. (I tossed out some radio remote strobes to provide foreground fill and manually fired them at low-power.) Never could've done that with in-camera metering, even on a top-of-the-line DSLR.

Sekonic 358. Used to use a 558, but it got stolen, and I decided I didn't need the spot meter portion. Situations where I'm using reflected light are usually ones where there isn't time to use an external meter anyway, and my camera has a pretty decent reflected light meter.
