s can operate on both reflected and incident light.
Incident light metering nets a more direct measure of the light
falling on a subject regardless of subject reflectivity, relative to a
calibration constant (usually 18% average reflectance). Reflected
light meters are subject to the same considerations

I don't have time for a full on discussion right now, but my issue
with incident light meters is that they don't take into account the
reflectivity of the subject.
The incident meter tells you how much light is falling on the subject.

Still older light meters used no batteries, relying on the output of a
special foto-sensible cell and a precision (for the time) voltmeter. Dad
used them, and they're around, but their output is questionable at least
since 1970 - those samples we have in the house, I understand others are
small differences under 1/2 stop. I had
to use one from Vivitar for a while, and really hated that damned thing.

I have two light meters: Sekonic L208 and Sekonic L328. I use them both.
I don't seem to have the problems that others report with the L208
