Digital camera reviews of Gossen Digisix GO 4006 Digital / Analog Exposure Meter
Digital camera Review: Big bang in a small package
Summary: 5 Stars
This tiny Gossen light meter has been my constant companion ever since I bought it a year ago (sorry honey, but I do spend more time with it than you : ). I have tested the readings against other more expensive meters, as well as in-camera meters on my Mamiya 6 & 7, Pentax 67, and Nikon FM2, and found it very accurate.
A convenient feature that I like and prefer over the more exensive Sekonic digitals is the exposure dial that allows you to quickly and easily see all combinations of aperture and shutter speed at a glance (the Sekonic displays a digital readout and you can then scroll up and down for other combinations. This one shows a digital number that you match up to on the dial. A small detail but one I find practical).
Where this meter annoys me a bit is that in setting film ASA/ISO you have to scroll through all possible speeds in one direction only from 4 to 3200, and if u miss the one you want you have to go all the way around again. Minor, but annoying nonetheless.
The battery lasted me about a year; there is no way to my knowledge to turn the meter off, so it's always using a bit of battery. You could take the battery out I suppose when not using it for extended periods...if anyone knows a way to turn it off I'd love to know!
More positives, it's very compact and lightweight, hangs around your neck nicely...and the case stays attached to the cord so you don't have to worry about losing it. It has a bunch of other features which I haven't used too often, including an alarm, a timer (very useful for timing long exposures), a temperature reading, and perhaps something else.
I give it an overall 5-star rating and highly recommend it.
