The LCD screen is small compared to other meters, but is an improvement over previous incarnations. A lumidisk diffuser is included for contrast and brightness measurements. The built-in lumisphere (invercone) does not rotate, but the switch to change from incident to reflected reading is located easily under the thumb. I found the accuracy in repeated tests exceptionally good and it matched the most expensive meters here. It sits well in the small open-topped belt pouch that is included, and while it is genuinely pocket-sized it is not fiddly to use.

With the exception of the LightMeter Free smartphone app, this is the most compact meter tested here. The Polaris is excellent if you are using studio lights for the first time and you want to ensure correct exposure. While it isn’t possible to twist the invercone to face the light source, the readings are accurate and consistent, and just a simple slide switches the device between incident and reflective metering. Although it does not have the largest LCD display among the models tested here, it is certainly easy to read, even at arm’s length, and shows both shutter speed and f-stop in 1/10-stop increments. I was impressed by the multi-flash feature, which calculates how many times to fire your flash to achieve the exposure at your required aperture setting. On powering up, there is a useful battery-check scale and automatic power shutdown after 5mins, while a memory feature retains all the settings when the meter is turned off or the battery changed. The Polaris is a compact flash and ambient lightmeter that is exceptionally well made and versatile for its price. I particularly like the ‘Analyze’ function, which calculates the exposure ratio of ambient light to flash in a mixed-light setting, and when fill-in is needed to augment natural light. The display shows the aperture readout in 1/10-stop increments, and ambient light sensitivity is sufficient for a shutter speed range from 30min-1/8000sec. The simple layout of the controls and the clearly marked buttons, along with a large, easy-to-read LCD display, make the KFM-1100 easy to use. It measures incident and reflected ambient light, as well as flash output, thanks to a removable invercone. The KFM-1100 looks similar to my old meter, and is the base model of the series.

GOSSEN DIGIPRO F EXPOSURE METER MANUAL
This meter provides many possibilities and options, and a long, calm reading of the manual is essential to get the best from it. The build quality is excellent, with tight-fitting rubber dust covers over the sync and USB sockets, and a very neat telescopic diffuser dome fitted to the rotating measuring sensor. The feel and layout of the meter’s controls are very similar to other Sekonic models over the past few decades, but the added features lift it to stratospheric levels of sophistication. Compatibility with PocketWizard technology is built in, allowing you to control and trigger your flash devices from the meter. Profile settings specific to your camera can be fine-tuned using Sekonic’s Data Transfer Software, or the data can be entered manually.

Sekonic’s LiteMaster Pro is a digital lightmeter with a difference, as it features a colour touchscreen that allows you to scroll through the menus, adjust settings and take readings for continuous and flash lighting through the whole range of still and moving image capture.
Covering a wide measuring range with exceptional accuracy, this lightmeter covers exposure times from 1/8000sec-60mins, and flash sync speeds up to 1/1000sec. The sensor head swivels up and over in two click settings, and it feels as though it will always perform when needed. The Digipro F2 is beautifully designed with all controls under the thumb on the front panel and the flash sync socket on the side. Measuring flash and continuous light in all situations from studio to location and filming, it covers incident and reflected readings. Gossen is a name synonymous with high-quality light measurement and the Digipro F2 is no exception, with a large display and a simple interface that can be operated straight out of the box with barely a glance at the instructions.
