[Averaging] The meter works great. Has a nice weight to it that makes it feel very well built. My only complaint is that it's a little difficult to put the screw back into the battery door but that's trivial.

[Reflected] As a professional art portrait photographer this meter is accurate, rugged, inexpensive, and totally reliable for in and out of studio endeavors.

[25 to 6400] I have 7 or 8 light meters, one of which is the Gossen Sixtomat F2 Exposure Meter (as well as an earlier version). They are the least fiddly of the light meters, are easy to read and change settings, and if the battery goes dead I don't have to look for a 2025 or a 2032. Fits in my shirt pocket where I can yank it out for a quick reading.

[Reflected] Accurate, compact and easy to operate, made in Germany, light meter with f & t priority setting. Using Seconic L758D as a reference, it meters within less than 1/3 stop accuracy. It has a feel of a good quality product with a well written, clear and comprehensive instruction manual - if needed. It runs on inexpensive readily available one AA battery. Sixtomat F2 represents a good value for money. I would recommended to a friend.

[0.175 lb] Very user friendly and works like a charm. If you need your Speedlite or Strobe adjusted to the correct exposure, and dont want to pay an arm or a leg, you need the SIXTOMAT F2 EXPOSURE METER.

[25 to 6400] I bought this meter to replace my original F2 Digipro which quit after I don't know how many years.... a lot! I use it for film where it excels in high contrast images with negative film. I scan the scene in reflected mode (basically just wave the meter around pointed at the scene) and set the exposure to one and a half stops over the minimum value shown on the contrast scale at the bottom of the display. Shadow detail is as perfect as it can be....every time. For slides, I use one and a half below the top reading...and pray....or I use my bulky spotmeter (ugh).
I actually prefer this to the digipro because you don't have to remove the the dome for reflected readings. I lost the darn thing and it showed up a couple of years later in a suit jacket pocket!

[Reflected] I have no complaints about this meter. Extremely accurate!!!

[Averaging] No need to bother with air cells or wrong voltage solutions. Takes modern batteries and pops on top in the accessory shoe. Makes those vintage but still functional cameras more useable.

[Reflected] This meter is so good, I have bought five (with this last purchase) over the years. I've sold the others at a loss to my fellow classmates and when it came time to purchase (the fifth one) for myself a few months ago, it was discontinued.

To my fortunate, it was re-released a month ago with an additional feature the previous model did not have, a lit up LCD. Which comes in handy when doing night exposures.

The meter is very easy to use, takes a standard AA battery, accurate and does both Aperture and Shutter priority exposures. Something the Sekonics at the same price point do not do.

The Sekonics only do Shutter priority at this price point.

It weights nothing so you can attach a thin neck strap to it and hang it on your neck all day long no problem. Or you can keep it in a large jacket pocket as it's thing enough to fit even in jean pockets.

Plus it's made in Germany.

[Reflected] This light meter is a gem. I use it indoors and outdoors with my Hasselblad (503s) and my Leica M-6 cameras. We are are ready for the instant lighting changes that plagues the Midwest. Without this great accuracy and speed I would not be able to enjoy the hand crafted elegance of classical manual photography. I am also able to instruct an assistant an assistant how to take accurate exposure settings in only a few moments. I don't even have to speak German.
