4 out of 5 stars Nice- but not for portraiture   February 6, 2008
 25 out of 26 found this review helpful

This is really nice as an inexpensive light meter. But it only works with setting the shutter. You can't set in the aperture and get a shutter speed. Since aperture is so important for portraiture, I've had to return this and get a model that lets me set aperture and get shutter.


5 out of 5 stars Great meter for beginner to pro   September 23, 2007
 8 out of 8 found this review helpful

Many pro's use this meter so I got one and I'm not disappointed. It's so easy to use and has the basic features that are enough for most people. I've been using mine for 2 years without any problems. The manual says it needs special batteries but I've been using NiMh rechargeables without any problems.



5 out of 5 stars Good for this price   February 2, 2007

This is the cheapest usable digital flash + ambient light meter but it works very accurate and well. If you need spot reflected light metering, this is not your one becouse of the wide angle of view.


5 out of 5 stars Dead simple to use   October 13, 2006
 27 out of 27 found this review helpful

This meter is dead easy to use, largely because it is not cluttered with features most of us don't need often if ever. This meter is one you put at the subject location or hold in the sun to obtain a single reading. If you want to read various locations in a scene and have your meter provide an "average" reading, this meter is not for you -- you'll have to figure the average in your head.

It has the advantage of using easily obtained and relatively cheap batteries, which in a pinch can be pirated from other devices most of us have around the place, such as small flashlights and TV remote controls.



5 out of 5 stars Easy to use, full cover   July 7, 2006
 9 out of 19 found this review helpful

Really easy to use. The instructions are very clear and it handle very light and well. Careful with the flat reader in a tiny bag, keep it very closed and in your house until you will use it to take photos in a museum. Cover all needs. I been using this flashmate for almost 3 weeks and it works easer and faster than the big ones. My problem now is that I lend it to a friend and he wants to keep it instead of buying it.
