Lightmeter small enough for pocket?

If you get more accurate averaging from
bigger spots then it is because you are
miscaculating your exposures. Dennis

More accurate because of miscalculation.
As long as I miscalculate consistently I'm
OK. There are those this thread who
swear by much larger "spots" than
the 8 degree Sekonic L-228. Dan

I've steered clear of the one degree spots.
I believe narrow area meter averaging
gives a truer reading. Dan

A 1 degree spot is just this - a narrow area meter averaging the narrow area. Steer clear of it...

Then why do you need a wider area meter? Just miscalculate consistently the narrow spot meter...
