TTArtisan Light Meter Review – The Cheapest of Its Kind – By Frankie Bina

By / / Light Meters / 18 Comments

Shoe mounted light meters are slowly evolving, with different brands bringing new smaller and progressively more digital meters to the market. But the “analog” kind, with the satisfyingly clicky dials, stays highly popular among the analog photography crowd. The Voigtlander VCii still sits at the top, as the premium priced benchmark of reliable performance. Doomo Meter D came out as the more affordable, yet maybe not as accurate alternative. And recently TTArtisan decided to join this corner of the market with their own offering – the TTArtisan Light Meter – pushing the price even lower. This new model is priced around 65 USD at international sellers, half the price of Doomo and almost a quarter of the cost of the Voigtlander, making it the obvious low-budget choice. I purchased mine in China at even lower price, just 43 USD.

Doomo Meter S

Doomo Meter S Review – Just Another OLED Light Meter…?

By / / Light Meters / 10 Comments

The Doomo Meter S is a OLED screen readout counterpart to the Doomo Meter D. It’s smaller, USB chargeable, and only has one button and one dial. On paper it looks quite interesting, but in the sea of other options for shoe mount meters now out there, does it amount to anything that separates it from its competitors? The answer, I think, is yes – though what separates it from the competition might not be ideal for everyone.

Reveni Labs Spot Meter Review

By / / Light Meters / 12 Comments

The Reveni Labs spot meter is a little bit different from anything else I’m aware of that offers true spot metering. It’s smaller, lighter and has a fairly impressive range of features. It’s also – at least to my knowledge – unique in terms of its user interface, all of which makes it quite compelling, even to someone who doesn’t often use a spot meter.

Shoe Mount Light Meters – Which One is Right for You…?

By / / Accessories, Buyers Guides / 28 Comments

I’ve reviewed a whole load of the new crop of shoe mount light meters recently. I’ve liked something about all (most) of the meters I’ve tried, but trying them in quick succession has also revealed the shortcomings of each of them to me too. As such, I thought it might be useful to make a bit of a comparison article looking at their various pros & cons and who I think each meter is designed for.

Of course, all of this is still opinion, but hopefully it should still provide useful reading for anyone who’s got themselves into a bit of choice paralysis. I know I’d probably be a little confused we’re I trying to pick one and hadn’t had the opportunity I’ve had to play with all of them.

Keks EM-01 Shoe Mount Light Meter Review

By / / Light Meters / 11 Comments

The Keks EM-01 is the last shoe mount light meter I will be reviewing for this little series of reviews – for the time being at least. I have so far looked at the Voigtlander VCii, Reveni, Hedeco Lime One, Doomo Meter D, V-201X and now the Keks. So far, they have all had their pros and cons, so I was intrigued to see what the Keks could do for me.
