  • In today's video, we're looking at the AstrHori AH-M1 light meter. It's the perfect tool for photographers, especially film photographers, to help you meter your photography. Small enough to through into your bag alongside SD cards, film or batteries, and can not only help you ensure that you're metering your scenes correctly, but also giving you the option to buy cheaper cameras (looking at all those film camera resellers!) that might not have working light meters inside. It's the perfect companion to any fully mechanical camera!

    Great! I wished I learned without a light meter like my dad and Cartier-Bresson. Cartier-Bresson had Sunny 16 in his head.

      Yeah absolutely! Sunny 16 is a great rule for sure. I think light meters help when you want a ltitle more accuracy though. Happy New Year!

    Looks great! I have been using my iPhone as a light meter but as you said, I don't always want to take it out and use it. This is far more convenient.

    • @SophiaCarey
      @SophiaCarey  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Definitely! This light meter is so handy because it just becomes an extension of the camera, just like if there was an internal meter.

    This is timely because my light meter of my PenTax K1000 stop working. I was also trying out the sunny 16 rule and some iphone lightmeter apps. I'm going to check this out.

    Hey Sophia! Any indication on how long the charge on that meter lasts? Also with it mounted on your rz67 did it give you setting recommendations you agreed with? I have a rz67 pro 2 and was looking at using something like this instead of my phone to meter.

      Hey! I haven’t got a proper gauge on battery life so far but I definitely haven’t had to charge it a lot. It’s definitely got enough life for a full day of shooting or a few days of shooting a couple of hours at a time, and yes! I’ve definitely found it to be pretty accurate so far!
