Good and cheap light meter?
Any recommendations on a good and cheap light meter?
Looking for something basic, easy to understand that won't break the bank.

Try that with multiple strobes in home studio (I have five). Every portrait will be by trial and error, which with five strobes could mean a long time. If you are trying to get a certain look of your portrait (corresponding to certain flux ratios), a lightmeter can save you a lot of time.IAMABADMADAFAKA wrote: ↑A light meter in the age of digital photography? What for? To know the amount of light you are getting?
If you looked at the pictures while you were shooting them you can not be wrong by too much. Why not to take a shot and than look at the histogram, you will see if it shifted too much towards the dark or too much towards overexposed? In the post processing you can shift your exposure up and down by couple EV so you have enough info in your RAW files to compensate for small mistakes.
Why spend money and than time during your photoshoot for something you do not need?
