Still use a Weston Master V for incident metering and a Pentax 1 degree
spotmeter with the 645 and when I can't get to the subject with the Weston.

I have, and use quite often,at least with the 6x6 and 6x7's, a Minolta iv F and also
have
the Minolta
Spot Meter,but not used as much. Mostly for winter B&W but have not tried it out on
slide
film yet. The
iv F is deadly on bright snow exposures.

Absolutely. Pentax Spotmeter V.
Even with 135 on occasion.
Averaging meters don't always cut it.
Being 1/2 stop off on 135 can be tolerated but
being 1/2 stop off on 4x5 or 8x10 makes a diff in the neg.
Even makes a diff with 120. Why? Because 135 loses enough shadow detail and
highlight
I was about to say yes until I paid attention to the word 'analog'. So,
NO. I use a Gossen Luna Pro Digital F. I like this meter because it
will tell me the flash and incident light readings simultaneously,
making it really easy to balance fill flash. Dave
I use a Gossen Luna Pro from time to time, I use a Minolta flash
meter in the studio (except when shooting digital, and a Zone VI
modified Pentax digital spot meter (not analogue, I realize) when
shooting large format.

Oh boy. Missed that completely.D'oh.
However the iv F has an anolog scale which i do look at.lol

Three Norwood Directors around here somewhere plus one or two stripped
down for parts. One went successfully through calibration a couple
of years ago. Works just fine. Keep them mostly for the memories ---
first one came into "the family" in 1949 --- for use with the vacation
film came
A Gossen Lunasix 3s for incident readings (it's spot on, no pun intended) and a
(digital) Gossen SpotMaster for spot readings and flash (when I'm not letting the LX
take care of the flash)

Me too. I really like the meter. Mostly use it for studio flash
work, but some ambient readings outdoors, too.

Gossen LunaPro F. I've got the 15/7.5 degree attachment for
pseudo-spot readings, but I use it mostly as an incident meter.

Hi,

Yes. I have a Sekonic L-608 (electronic, flash, spot, etc) and a
Sekonic L-208 Twinmate (analogue, incident and reflected light).
I use the L-208 all the time for incident readings when I shoot
with my Leicas, which don't have bui
Is anybody here still using hand metering and if yes, when?
I still use a Pentax Spotmeter V from time to time. It's invaluable
when you want to nail a specific part of a scene -- such as the sky at
sunset. It's also great for determining the exposure range of a scene,
and the sweeping needle

Wow, guys, they are the same meter. The L-28C is just an older model of the
L-398. The Norwood Director mentioned by someone else is an older version still.
Sekonic bought out Norwood long ago. I have actually owned all 3.

Analog? I don't have one. Got a couple of digital meters, though.

an old separate analog light meter like the "Gossen

Digital seems to take over everywhere :-)

Hi Shel
thanks, I like late replies too... :-)
I enjoyed your thoughts about film processing and b/w film.

That's a tricky shot!
Don't forget to point the spotmeter at something, that you want i the
"middle of the grey-wedge" (18%).
I don't understand why the histogram from shooting a white or black wall
does not show a peak in the middle? AN average metering should result in a
photograph that in avera
