displayed on the meter should be your exposure. To see how muc

According to this article, you've got it about right. But there's no
point to using the gray card there, just hold the meter near the part

Larry, I'd rather use my meters in the incident light mode - assuming

I believe spot metering attachments are available as accessories.
The accessory is the L-358VF I think. I have one here but it's been

About $100 used.
Flash & ambient metering.
Standard battery.
Small, lightweight.
No spot feature. I think he said he needed that.
I use and recommend the L-558 . That's why I asked him his budget.

The maximum power isn't as important in this circumstance as is the
minimum power setting. A 640ws or more flash, if it gave 1/16 or smaller
minimum output, would IMO be OK. You would never regret the highest power
and would always find an occasion when even more would be useful. To
