Hand held light meter recommendations


Please give me some specific models that you would recommend as far as hand held light meters. I will use it mainly for portrait work. I know that Gossen, Minolta are good. . but please recommend specific models.
Thanks.

  Dave,
I am using the Gossen Lunasix F meter. It has analog display and also offers flash metering. It is possible to mount, among others, a spot metering device (measuring angles 15° and 7.5°; recommendable). I have made very good experiences with it. The Gossen Profisix is similar, but does not allow flash metering.
Meters with digital display are also available from Gossen.

  Dave,
I too am in the hunt for a hand held flash/ambient meter. Go to http://www.photographyreviews.com and see what others think of their personal meters. It's a great source of non-pro reviews. I've read that the following are great meters:
-Gossen Luna-Pro F, Luna Pro Digital F -Minolta Flash Meter III, IV & V
-Sekonic L308B, L308B II, L328B

Check out Ebay for great deals on used ones.

Tony
