I have the Sekonic Digilite F L-328, which has given me near perfect exposure measurement for both ambient and flash since 1996 or so, considering both my film and digital cameras in that. I'm not sure what the calibration adjustments of the higher end meters would do, other than provide some additional level of convenience. The larger integrating hemisphere of the L358 model is what I was interested in (more sensitivity, accuracy), but since this one continues to work very well I haven't been motivated to buy another yet. > Incidentally, I'm not normally a cropper, but I've been playing with > Lightroom, and cropped the picture of the boat to 35mm proportions > (2:3) and the statue of Wally to the Golden Ratio (1:1.618), which > seems appropriate for the surrounding architecture. I like the way LR > gives you the ability to set fixed aspect ratios. I like it too: my standard exhibition print is an ~11x14 inch image on A3 paper. Both Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw v3.x support setting fixed proportion ratios in cropping tools as well, though; it's not a new feature.
