Gossen Compact Reviews

Great low light lux meter

By Bruce
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-09-26

After having used a Gossen Mavolux 5032C for almost 20 years for low light crash scene documentation, my old meter unexpectedly quit on me. I ended up buying a new 5032C, but decided to try Mavolux Compact out as a backup. After using both, I will probably end up using the Mavolux Compact as my primary meter. The addition of a screen backlight on the Compact really makes a difference when metering poorly lit scenes.
