Comments about Gossen DigiFlash - Digital Incident, Reflected and Flash Light Meter:
I loved this little guy; it's handy and accurate. much better than the unreliable lightmeter on my camera! However, because you can't turn it off, it lasted only 9 months before the battery gave out. I got the battery replaced, but it still intermittently gives a "BATT" dying-battery warning even with a new battery. Now I'm afraid it'll give inaccurate readings. I can't believe it's so expensive but doesn't even have a way to turn it off.
Pros
- Compact

Cons
- Too many features
Best Uses

Comments about Gossen DigiFlash - Digital Incident, Reflected and Flash Light Meter:
If you want time, temperature, a watch, timer, alarm clock and last but not least an exposure meter this one's for you. For me, I simply want an exposure meter. I have not found this unit to be that conservative with battery life.
Comments about Gossen DigiFlash - Digital Incident, Reflected and Flash Light Meter:
Use it for both ambient and flash lighting. Readings are accurate and easy to make. Only down side is a minor inconvenience of having to scroll though the whole list of ISO numbers to go from ISO 125 to 100.
Pros
- Small
Cons
- Cannot be repaired
Best Uses
- As curio
Comments about Gossen DigiFlash - Digital Incident, Reflected and Flash Light Meter:
Small size makes it handy to carry as a back-up or for casual use.
Although it was initially accurate, my meter now reads 2/3 to 1 stop high. The importer will not repair it, but only replace it at full price.
