Light Meter Comparison. Super 8 and 16mm cameras.

What light meter should you buy if you want to shoot film with your movie camera? In this video, I present some general information about light meters and what makes them different. The information applies to any camera, really, but the video is oriented toward Super 8 and 16mm shooters.

Awesome video bud! I use a spectra IV A it has served me well for many years.

Gracias Manny! Cool; they are good meters. They are a product of their time. That's what, in my opinion, makes them just a bit harder to use today. Not a big deal if you don't mind doing some simple math.

Minolta flash meter VI from 2002 (sold under the kenko name now) is a great option too, combines a incident and a 1degree spot for around 250$

Thanks for sharing the info. Looks like they have a modern version that sells for $449 now.

I have had a Sekonic-308 B for 24 years now, I bought it for $250.
in my case, there is only 180 degrees for the shutter angle, but I don’t use this function, just for shutter speed, for example, on K-3 at 24 fps I set it to 1/60, but if I use Canon 518, which has 1/40, you have to make an adjustment when setting ISO to 1/3, since shutter speeds are also limited to one step

Yeah, you can use pretty much any meter with movie cameras you just have to think more. If you only shoot with one camera is not a big deal. If you use several cameras or if you need to work in fast paced environments a meter with more options makes more sense..

Hahaha what the heck is a 360 degrees shutter angle?

[@TheCinematographyLab]

Also known as the invisible shutter, the 360° shutter is a device... Hahaha, I don't know. They just wanted to offer more options, I guess.
