I have a cheap flash meter that I've had for years that was very useful in the studio back in the rollfilm days. But when I set my lighting gear up now I still use it just to see what ball park i'm in. It saves a lot of time early on. It's only set for 1/60th as that was the only flash speed in those days but i have devised a ready reckoner to give me all speeds at all apertures.
