Gossen Digipro F Light Meter

The Gossen Digipro F is a light meter for measuring ambient and flash light. It will measure in either incident or reflected light modes. The mid-priced meter is great for both the professional photographer and the enthusiastic amateur.

Its versatility means it is suitable for either film or digital cameras. It can be used for either still photography or cine. It is even able to read TV frame speeds, 25 fps or 30 fps and will warn the user when the range is exceeded. The Digipro F delivers the same accuracy that Gossen meters are known for and eliminates the need for trial and error.

The Digipro F is great for photographers on the go. It is slim yet sturdy and weighs little. It will fit easily into a pocket and comes with a strap to make carrying it a snap. Its size makes it comfortable to use with only one hand. The arrangement of its buttons make it a great meter for those who are left handed. Its large LCD digitally displays the reading in 1/10 steps. It also has an analogue contrast indication that displays in 1/2 step increments.

The uncluttered interface features a memory button as well as two sets of arrow buttons so the user can easily toggle through to the function they want.

The meter is ideal for studio use. It is easy to set the meter up to read flash light, either using a sync cord or no cord. The Gossen Digipro F gives the photographer an accurate light reading and then suggests the f stop needed to achieve the perfect picture. Alternatively, using the Digipro F in studio, the photographer can adjust the intensity of the flash light until it is appropriate for the f-stop they want to use.

The meter can take multiple flash measures and will also provide a reading for the amount of ambient light available. This features allows the photographer to balance the sources of light. Additionally, the Digipro F is suitable for outdoor photography. It is calibrated for daylight (5500K), making it easy to use when shooting on a sunny day. It features a swivel head which facilitates taking readings and measurements using incident light.

Its ease of use is furthered by the meter's ability to recall, for any reading given, all the possible shutter speed and aperture combinations. It also has a shutter or aperture priority mode, which allows the photographer to preselect one or the other when taking a reading. The Digipro F also features preprogrammable exposure corrections, so the photographer is guaranteed the perfect photo every time.

As with some other meters, the Digipro F has memory that will store measured values as well as ones preset on the meter. The meter has an automatic shut off to save power, and will save all measurements stored in its memory when it switches off.

The simple, incredibly accurate Gossen Digipro F is a must purchase for hobbyists and professional photographers alike. It is a great value for the money and delivers the most precise photos possible. You will wonder how you ever did without it.
