    I use my Minolta flashmeter in my bedrm. studio, primarily because a handleld meter measures light FALLING on the subject, not reflected from subject as all in-camera meters do,making it somewhat more accurate.Although in-camera meters do a pretty good job, esp. using the
    TTL flash setting, they can sometimes be 'fooled' into giving wrong results when in extreme lighting/background settings;also i like combining flash and ambient in a studio enviornment and my hand meters do a good job with this also.-Joe Taylor

    Yes, most of my paying business uses 4x5 and larger film cameras; a meter is a necessity. I also use it in incident mode for multiple flash setups with digital.

    Yes, especially high contrast and video work. Prevents unpleasant surprises.

    I use one on my Samsung Rugby Pro. It seems to agree with my Canon XT's readings.
