Light + color temperature meter combo?

[Mike Brent]

Hello,

Is there a good budget light and color temperature meter combo? Or do I have to get these separately? Is the cheapest color temperature meter is $900 or I just don't know how to shop for these suckers? :blink:

If a good hybrid exists, I'm not aware of it. While my color meter, the C-500 is not meant to be an exposure meter, I find that when I use the information it provides as an adjunct to my own eye and instinct, that I use my exposure meter less. I use it in a supporting way, to give validation to my developing instincts and give me confidence to rely more on my eye.

I would make this suggestion.

Get a great Light meter Ambient and Spot.

The RED One BUild 30 might be the most accurate Color Temperature meter you will find. Many dedicated color temperature meters are vastly incorrect.
