Doomo Light meter.

[Huss]

I can do it either which way. Good for the brain to keep it working.

So handy:

This is a pretty cool tool for sure.
I think the only thing missing from it is a laser rangefinder telling you the distance to your subject.
I have a lot of cameras with manual focus and no viewfinder guidance for distance and having both light metering and distance taken care of would change everything!

That said, there are apps for the iPhone 12 that do measure distance between you and a point in front of you, AND apps that help you meter light for manual cameras.

But nothing that does both yet I'm afraid!

I find the laser range finders dont work in outdoors, the one I have doesnt for sure. The old hot shoe range finder accessories are easy enough to use, but would require a piggy back shoe coupling. My Leica if has 2 cold shoe couplings which is really handy. Unless your using a portrait lens or a fast lens wide open its easy enough to zone focus.

Which one do you use?I have a LS-1 which is great and very small (the size of a couple of cigarettes) and a Bosch GLM 30, bit bulkier but they're both really functional even under california sun.
Focusing on the subject is super important for me, for example this picture I really wanted to make sure the rock was sharp. Zeiss Ikon 6x6 120.
I recommend these laser pointers, they're really super duper!

Many newer battery dependent products now have their battery compartments secured with a Philipps head screw. I suspect the probable motivation is child safety. Toddlers will sometimes swallow batteries given the opportunity. Yes it's sort of a hassle, but I approve of this trend.

One came today.
Its metal
CR1632 batteries
Comes in three different colour combinations.
Quick and easy use.
For me is half the price of the Voigtlander.
25 iso to 6400 iso.
Most importantly looks good.
Even tells you the exposure

Are you still happy with your Doomo?

Are you still happy with your Doomo?

Yes, works fine, still on original battery.

Yes, works fine, still on original battery.

And it gives you good results? I noticed there isn't much discussion of results here, but there's a review here that shows a bunch https://kamerastore.com/my-day-with-the-doomo-d-light-meter/

It does the job, think it deserves the crusty seal of approval.

 

[Wayne]

Well...if its good enough for Krusty....its good enough.
