Response to Any recommendations on flash meters?

Minolta IV, Sekonic 408's, Gossen's Luna Pro F... to name a few. All the bells ect. aren't necessary but handy once you get going. Let's say your shooting a product or some setup. Your strobes will only give you f11... multiple pops (opening the shutter in a dark studio and popping 2, 4 or 8 times) will give you the apeture you need to render everything in focus. Two pops will give you f16, 4 pops will give you f22 and 8 pops will give you f32. I do caution you when doing multiple pops, reciprocity will come into play eventually! At work, I have the Seconic 408 and it does everything I need in the corporate situation. At home I have the Gossen Luna Pro F. It's great also but there is no sych socket. Just a little more work but it still works great. Remember, lightmeters are just a necessary tool in our world. The easier (read more things in the meter) the meter, the easier your job will be. Cheers
