Kenko KFM2100 Light Meter

The Kenko KFM2100 light meter is a well designed, full featured light meter suitable for the professional photographer or for those who want to take their photography up a notch.

The meter measures both ambient and flash light and features a built in spot meter. It is suitable for both digital and film based photography and for still photography and cinema.

The Kenko KFM2100's smart design is ergonomic, making it comfortable to hold when using. It features a large, vertical LCD screen that displays numeric F No. values in 1/10 increments as well as on a scale vertically in 1/3 increments.

The layout of its buttons is intuitive, there is no fumbling about when searching for the right button to push. It is powered by one AA battery and is able to get about 30 hours of power from the one battery when running continuously in ambient mode.

The meter will measure flash light either with a sync cord or without. Its built in spot meter means the photographer does not need to invest in additional accessories that have the potential to be lost. The viewfinder features an F No. readout that allows the photographer to get a reading on reflected light without having to take their eyes off the photo scene. The viewfinder has built in compensating dioptric adjustment lenses so those who wear glasses can see clearly without needing clip ons.

The Kenko KFM2100 has an analyze function that judges the ratio of flash to ambient light in a scene. The feature allows a photographer to use the flash to fill in shadowy areas and makes the Kenko KFM2100 great for outdoor use, when you want to mix flash with daylight to get just the right photo. The meter is great for use both in the studio and out of doors. Its latitude display function makes it great to use in areas with vast differences in brightness between light and dark areas, making it easy to get the perfect shot of the sun shining through shadowy trees.

What's more, the meter offers an exposure navigation system. The navigation system lets the photographer evaluate and confirm the exposure of different parts of the photo's scene which is displayed on the LCD. The feature aids the photographer in determining the best exposure to use for the overall picture.

Like other meters, the Kenko KFM2100 has memory space for recording up to nine different measurements. It is easy to record readings to the memory--just hit the "Memory" button located on the front of the meter after taking the reading. Once nine readings are stored, the meter will delete the oldest measurement to make room for the newest one. Unlike other meters, the Kenko KFM2100 has a calculation function that takes the average of the measurements stored in its memory. The average of the measurements is useful when working with reflected light and allows the photographer to get the highlight or shadow in the photograph accurately and precisely how they want it.

The Kenko KFM2100 is a great investment for professional photographers. Its ease of use and intuitiveness allows them to focus on the photo instead of worrying about how to work the meter and get the readings just right. The meter's accuracy and features guarantees the best photo possible, every time.
