Hi Guys, I just need a little help with some light meters. I have recently saw the Gossen Digi pro F for sale for a good price. Does this function have reflective spot metering? Also are these meters any good for cinematography. I cannot afford the higher end cine Sekonics or Spectra at the moment. I was looking at the Sekonic Flashmate model L-308B or older Minolta Meters What do you all think? Kind Regards

Hi all, I just need help understanding anamorphic s How is it used when your shooting film, is it to squeeze more images onto the film and then unsqueeze later? Also with digital is it used just to get 2:35.1 and anaphoric flares like in Super 8? Also how does focal length appear is it double like a 20mm is actually a 40mm. One last question I have read when they are stopped down they become soft.. is this true? Thanks

Hi Guys, Another question. I am using matte boxes and 4x4filters. How do you guys get the right filtration say I need an nd.2 for this scene. Do you spot meter? or Just get an average? So how do you choose your filters? Thanks
