Yep, I've always metered sunsets with a spotmeter. Just pick out the
portion of the sky that you want to have the density of a gray card and
take your reading there.
Bingo.

For general photography an incident light meter will provide you with
the most consistent results, if you bother to learn how to use it. It
will be easier to use than a spotmeter, and more accurate then a a built
in meter. Every incident meter I have ever owned could also be used as a

You really need to have an incident meter. This measures the light
that's falling on the subject, and in general gives you the most
accurate reading. However
For about AU$200 you can get a new Sekonic L-308 off ebay which is a decent
all purpose meter with reflective, incident flash metering capabilities.
I have one of these and it's good enough for my needs. I would like a
L-358, or better yet L-558, but because I only shoot digital nowadays the

James,
The meter I've used for years is the Minolta Auto
Meter IVf. It's simple to use. Once a reading is taken
you can scroll through f stops and shutter speeds very
quickly. It shows a range of stops from f1 to f90,
speeds from 30 min to 1/8000 second and an ISO range
of 3 to 8000. It also has
If you're going to be shooting slides, I'd recommend a _good_ spot meter.
IMO the best you can get would be a Pentax Spotmeter (or a similar one)
that allows you to look through the meter and see exactly what you're
metering. The Pentax Digital Spotmeter is my spot meter of choice, but for
years

I own a very cheap, simple Sekonic model. It was the cheapest thing I
could find when I wanted a meter for starting with 4x5, and supplemented
my YM124G's not-quite-right internal meter. Eventually, I'll replace it
with a spot meter, when I have money to spare.
Which isn't likely anytime
