Meter Leader

Kenko is getting into the metering arena with two flashmeters and a colormeter. Its pro-level, flashand ambient-reading, 6-ounce KFM-2100 ($600, estimated street) has all the bells and whistles you would expect -- and a few you wouldn't. These include a 1-degree spotmetering scope with diopter correction (-3.0 to +1.0), a vertically oriented exposure scale, and extra-large exposure readouts. That built-in spotmetering scope puts aperture readouts in its viewfinder, and the meter's latitude display function can be used to show the difference in stops between highlights and shadows, or between incident and reflective spotmeter readings.
