Hi,

the best that I know of for your purposes might be the Gossen Luna
Pro, although they're not cheap even on the used market. There are
several variants, so you'd need to do a bit of research before making
your final decision.

The meter I used for years before getting the all-whistling amazing
dancing Sekonic was (still is sometimes) the Sekonic Studio Deluxe
L-398M. They are cheap, robust, accurate, reliable and entirely analogue -
no batteries. They only measure down to EV4 at ISO 100, so they're not
great low-light meters (the Gossen goes down to -4 or -6 I think), and
you have to insert metal slides to baffle the light in bright
conditions, so it's not as simple as it could be and is more fiddly
than it should be.

Other than that it's fine. But I'd probably recommend a Luna Pro over
the L-398M.
