Have you ever shot using a handheld light meter? What was your experience?

[@Anarki2U]

I used a Weston Master V in the early 1980´s, it died. Now I own a Weston Master IV, TWO V and two Euro-Master which all died ! Thigh it is a precise light meter I will not recommed it ! I can recommend the later versions of Calcu-Light light meters and Gossen Variosix F2 light meter.

[@JasonRowPhotography]

What happened to your Westons? There's not very much that can go wrong with them

[@saxodg6294]

Great video Jason. I really enjoyed that. Very informative and gives me reassurance that using my Weston Masters with my old film cameras is still valid.

[@JasonRowPhotography]

Glad you enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised at how close the Weston was to the Fuji in these conditions. Will definitely be using mine more

[@Aleksilausti]

Nice test Jason. Old tech is surprisingly effective till today.

[@JasonRowPhotography]

Thanks, yes I was very surprised at how well the Weston performed

[@davidbraun6568]

Weston handbook recomends for reflective reading to hold meter angled slightly down to exclude some sky for a better reading for the subject. When using the invercone if your subject is in the same light as you are standing then no need to run up to take a reading, just turn your back to subject and point meter towards camera position.

[@JasonRowPhotography]

Thanks for the info. I didn’t have a manual but am sure I can find a printed on on eBay

[@davidcope51]

Came here to say the same thing. When shooting landscape quite often the same light is falling where I am to where it is miles away. Incident is also great for metering under the shade if you want to also expose for shade in the distance. I use a master V meter.
