When choosing a new light meter, there are several key features to look for, with readers advised to first consider if they need incident or reflected metering. “Incident metering measures the light falling on the subject, while reflected metering reads the light bouncing off the subject,” explains Old time focus. “Both have their uses, and some meters offer both options.”
One of the light meters recommended is the Sekonic L-308X-U Flashmate. This light meter provides a comfortable 40-degree angle of view and offers both incident and reflected metering for increased versatility. It also has an EV range of 0-19.9 at ISO 100, making it highly adaptable in varying lighting conditions.
Another recommendation is the Sekonic Speedmaster L-858D-U, a top pick with professionals. This light meter can measure flash duration, making it easier to capture precise high-speed motion footage. It also offers a spot metering capability with a 1-degree angle of view for increased reading accuracy and precision.
For those experimenting with iPhone photography, the Lumu Power Light & Color Meter for iPhone is recommended for its ability to transform an iPhone into a professional-standard light meter. The device comes with a dedicated app to measure light and is an ideal choice for those who prefer to travel light. It also offers incident and color temperature measurements and is capable of flash metering.
Readers should consider their skill level when selecting a new light meter, the guide notes. Beginners should look for meters that are intuitive to use to avoid becoming overwhelmed by too many complex settings and features. On the other hand, professionals should look for more advanced settings such as high-speed sync or cine modes.
“Whether you’re a novice learning the ropes or a seasoned pro refining your craft, there’s a light meter out there that’s perfect for your needs,” says the guide. “Remember, the best light meter is the one that fits seamlessly into your workflow, enhances your understanding of light, and helps you bring your creative vision to life.”
