Gossen Mavolux
5032C - Digital Footcandle and Lux Meter
Ultra-compact, and packed
with features, the Digisix
is an ambient light meter
that does much more than
just determine exposure. As
an exposure meter, the
Digisix is a prime example
of Gossen's high precision
and reliability, based on
Gossen-specific calibration
and German engineering.
The Digisix is small enough
to sit comfortably on your
camera's hot shoe (with
optional shoe adapter), and
sports a digital read-out
and analog scale for ambient
light levels that can be
measured in reflective or
incident mode. Digital read
out in EV is easily
transferred to a setting
ring where all the shutter
speed/f-stop combinations
can be read at a glance.
Digital LCD read-out and
Contrast scene read-out's
are in 1/3-stop increments.
Meter sensitivity range is
0-18EV.
But the Digisix doesn't stop
there. Not only is it an
exposure meter, but it also
offers a functioning clock
with alarm, a timer for
timing long exposures, plus
a precision digital
thermometer which measures
temperatures and stores a
high and low value.
All of this fits into an
unbelievably small package
(3 x 2 x 1 inch) with trendy
styling, which is easy and
comfortable to operate. The
meter weighs approximately
1.5 oz (including battery),
and comes with a carry case,
strap and battery.
