I love using this little light meter. everything about it is simplicity, with just a few buttons, which is all it needs, and despite the small size it has a very clear and readable display.
I got this in chrome (simply because I think it looks classy); and with the rear display, as I thought (and this has been borne out) I'd switch it on, frame through the viewfinder, then pull back slightly to see what the read-out is saying for exactly what I'm looking at.
A previous review didn't like that the screen switches off after 20 seconds, but I guess it's horses for courses. I prefer that it does this - the way I shoot with it means I've never had it switch off without seeing, and remembering, the setting (mainly because I also decide on either the aperture I want, or shutter speed, before then switching it on, so I then only need to remember one of the numbers). But mainly I like this because it means I never have to worry about forgetting to switch it off, so don't run down the battery.
It could do with a readout of battery strength, maybe just briefly as you switch it on; and while the different size base plates, to take account of different cold / hot shoe mounts, are welcome, the teeny allen screws are fiddly, and just waiting to get lost at some point.
But those are minor quibbles. This seems to work perfectly, and while it certainly ticks the 'form' box, it's also heavily leaning towards excellent 'function'.
