Are the vintage Gossen Sixticolor meters any good?
I just suffered from a bit of sticker shock. It seems that new digital color temperature meters run over $1000. On the other hand, there are vintage ones (analog, obviously) on Ebay all over the place for less than $100 (usually a lot less!).
I don't want to fork over $1200+ on a light meter. How well do the vintage ones work at this point in time? Are there cheaper light meters that work well that I'm not aware of? Thanks much! Stephen |

I bought one a couple of years ago on ebaY, mine works fine. YMMV
I paid $30-$40 US for it. Bill

FYI, to keep in mind...the mired shift values that are often printed on a chart on the back (i.e. green-magenta correction) are tuned for film emulsion--video will read the mired shift differently and require less correction.
