Used Gossen Sixtomat F2 Light Meter

Picked this up for my analogue kit and the needle response is instant and accurate—no lag even in tricky mixed lighting. The build feels reassuringly solid, like it’ll survive a few knocks in my bag. Exactly what I needed for spot-on exposures without guesswork.

The dial clicks into place with that satisfying, solid feel you only get from older gear, and it reads incident light accurately enough that I stopped second-guessing my exposures. The compact size means it slips right into my jacket pocket on shoots.

Metering with this is spot-on compared to my DSLR's built-in meter, and the analog dial feels satisfyingly tactile. The compact size fits easily in my shirt pocket, which is perfect for quick readings on location shoots.
