| Light meters
What kind is a decent one and why? I guess I'm looking for something under $300... Can I even get something decent for under that price?
Do most of you use a light meter for your shots?
Thanks

The Sekonic L358 is a decent one and it costs about $350.

Any reason why you'd pick that one over others? Sorry, I know nothing about light meters

Sekonic seems to have gotten the monopoly on light meters in the professional market after Minolta left the market. Actually, Kenko bought Minolta's light meter line, but since the Kenko name isn't a high end name, they've kind of fallen by the wayside. I can still get them, as they are excellent light meters. The one thing the Sekonics have over the Kenko meters is the ability to wirelessly trigger Pocket Wizards, but the attachment for those are stupidly expensive.
