Unless you will shooting chromes any basic meter with reflective and incident will do the job. Landscapes with critical exposures a spot Meter would help. jco

Never having done this before (I started playing with photography well into the age of in-camera metering) I have little idea of what I need or how it works. If I'm largely going to be doing landscapes, am I right to assume that a reflective meter would be best? How much will a half decent meter set me back? It may be cheaper to buy a TTL metering prism. Any advice appreciated as hand held metering is a mystery to me!
