    Light meters

    I know you guys probably get asked this a million times, but I tried the search function without much success. So what I am wondering is will a "universal" type light meter (e.g. Weston II) work for cinema cameras (I'm using a K3). Or is there any way of telling if it is a cinema type, stills type, or flash type. I've heard that an incident light meter is what I want (apparently these are the ones with a white bubble), but there are no cinema equipment retailers anywhere near me so I can't really go and check out a bunch of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  2. I'm with cal....it's only a matter of time before everyone ends with an aspect ratio equal to the golden ratio. We can't fight it. And those who have super 16 cameras will be happy. Seriously though, it will be interesting to see if the 16:9 thing takes off. I personally don't like the 2.35:1 ratios because they are too wide. 16:9 does feel like a more natural ratio. I've never used those anamorphic things, surely they can't be all bad? I'm very new to this whole film thing though.
