Hello Bill, I'm using a Gossen Luna Pro F Digital. I'm very happy with it. The digital readout is foolproof (can't misread it), interface is simple, and it does ambient, flash, ambient/flash for fill and can show the ambient vs flash to help you decide how much to drag the shutter. And, it is less than $250. Here's a link: http://www.adorama.net/catalog.tpl?op=details&sid=1069698753282666&sku=GSLPDF
