Now *that's* an interesting concept. Of course the iPhone is a computer with a fancy light sensor attached. :-) Sadly, AFAICT none of these apps works as a flash meter, and besides using it with a film camera, that is the main reason for having a light meter. It's my reason anyway. In fact, the iPhone lightmeter apps cannot do: - spot metering - incident flash - flash/ambient ratios - flash triggering - readings triggered by sync cable - cine readings Nor, unfortunately can the cheapie used flashes like Jens mentioned; eg Gossen Lunasix F. Still very happy I picked up a Polaris flash meter at a good price. Does everything but cine. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
