That may be an improvement, but IMHO, that's still a PITA to have to keep pushing buttons. With the two scales always available -- on most non-digital exposure meters -- all the options are right there for you to see, all at once.
I have a digital Minolta IIIf Autometer. It only shows one reading at a time and you have to hit a button to move the readings to select another setting. The problem is this meter is shutter priority. So you'll get digital percentages of apertures like f/8.7. There's no selection to make it an aperture priority. I suppose that makes sense because, with old film cameras, you can't get shutter settings other than at full stops. The more modern digital meters allow you to set aperture priority as well.

Yea, not really "100% analog workflow"
You know Fuji makes a GFX50.......
It is 100% analog workflow. Who said you can't use digital instruments to help set exposure? Most meters available today are digital so if you use one of those then it's not analog workflow.

ck The app is good for reflective metering. The only reason why I use the lightmeter (Gossen Sixtomat for its small size) is when I need the incident metering.
Of course. Digital metering came out long before digital photography.
Chan....if you use a digital camera to measure light...have someone else process your film...& then have digital prints made..... that's hardly !00% analog. How can you discuss the nuances of development and printing if that's your 'workflow'? & I wasn't referring to meters. I have and use a Digisix, & a Pentax 1° spot meter & others
I was referring to Alan's post of incorporating histograms, blinkies & clipping.... WT* ??? How is that analog?
I said use a digital camera but I didn't say have someone process my film nor make prints digitally nor scan. I used to use a scanner to scan my color negative to find out what kind of exposure and filter I need to make my print with the enlarger. That's not pure analog?

I like the Sekonic L308 because it has reflectance and incident readings in f/stops and EVs. I use a Pentax Digital Spot Meter for stop meter readings.
I just got one. It is a really nice meter. Much more compact than my Gossen Luna Pro SBC too (and even the standard Luna Pros).

What is the difference between the S and X.?I love the 308. Had an S and the X, sold both when I wanted something smaller than the camera I was carrying. The Reveni has a lot of good features but poor battery life. Looking forward to improved versions of the cube. Just bought a used Gossen Digisix and it offers a lot of features often only found in larger meters. Occasionally, it would be helpful if the little Gossen had back lighting.
Alan, please explain to me how "histograms, blinkies & clipping" are analog?
I'm a slow learner....
Prior to the 308x, there were separate versions for still and cinema/video. The X version combines all of the features in a single meter. This allows the user to switch between reflected light with flash metering, cine and HD Cine. It also offers backlighting in low EV.What is the difference between the S and X.?
Thank You
I've been using my Minolta digital Autometer IIIF for 40 years which I bought when I got my Mamiya RB67 medium format film camera.
I didn't say they were. I said digital metering came out long before digital cameras. So film photographers were using digital meters with their film processes long before digital cameras were invented.Alan, please explain to me how "histograms, blinkies & clipping" are analog?

So in addition to carrying my film camera and lenses you are recommending that I go out and buy a bulky dlsr to drag around as a light meter so I can have the (dis)honor of squinting at "histograms, blinkies & clipping"? WTF???
