Bogen Gossen Starlite All-in-One Lightmeter

Bogen Gossen Starlite All-in-One Lightmeter Measure light in any form: flash or ambient, reflected or incident even a tiny spot. The Gossen Starlite digital meter provides clear, accurate exposure settings, photometric readings or even Zone System ranges for still photography or cinematography all in one compact and rugged, yet stylish, water-resistant unit. The name Gossen has long been synonymous with precision light metering technology and now they've pulled out all the stops. German engineering and precision are key elements behind the new Starlite All-In-One. This digital meter not only does everything you'd possibly want a state-of-the-art, multifunction meter to do, but does it all exceptionally well. Controls are ergonomically positioned for easy one-hand operation, and all data is clearly displayed on a large, self-illuminating, easy-to-read LCD panel. A unique 270-degree swivel head with built-in viewfinder and multi-position diffuser allows you to instantly select any of four different measuring modes: 1 degree spot measures reflected light through the viewfinder 5 degree spot measures reflected light through the viewfinder Incident light with raised diffuser--spherical Incident light with lowered diffuser--flat plane and any of six different measuring methods: Shutter priority mode Aperture priority mode Exposure value (EV)--can be used directly with certain MF lenses Contrast--determines the brightness range of any subject Averaging--utilizes up to nine separate measurements Zone system--where areas of different brightness are assigned to graduated "zones" of gray. In Cine mode, the Starlite All-In-One provides filmmakers with a full range of features including a preset shutter angle of 180 degree adjustable in ten-step increments. In the Photometric mode, light intensities and luminance can be measured for both ambient light and flash with results displayed in LUX, footcandle, cd/m2, footlambert and more. (cc)
