Oops; forgot! What do I use?
Weston Ranger 9; spot meter, wide by today's standards, but works for me.
Weston Master V; mostly incident readings using the invercone diffuser.
Also have an old G.E. PR-1 with incident diffuser, mostly for nostalgia as
it's what my dad used for over 30 years. Beautiful dials, built like a
tank, and still works.
None of these meters have the low end range of the Gossen's, but the best
part of the Master V (and G.E.) is no batteries. All three are classics.
