Review on πŸ“Έ Gossen Digisky GO 4039 Digital Exposure Meter for Flash and Ambient Light - Ideal for Cameras (Black) by Alan Massey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Garbage. The operating instructions do not match what is shown on the screen. Displays are cryptic and confusing

Nonsense. The operating instructions do not match what is shown on the screen. The ads are cryptic and confusing, probably because they're poorly translated from German. If you don't use it every day, or preferably multiple times a day, I definitely guarantee you'll forget all those crazy little characters and nonsense they built into the display (instead of the actual letters of the alphabet). Many of the instructions in the manual will NOT produce results on the display that they say they will produce. It's just stupid garbage. Buy one that actually works as the instructions say. I sent that to Southeast Asia. So the cost of bringing him back will piss me off even more than I already have. I paid a lot to get it here plus import fees and taxes and I would have to pay a lot to get it back. Also, the product page suggests buying a specific battery. Unfortunately, this battery has absolutely nothing to do with this device. Who knows what it's for. This is just a scam to get some more of your dollars. I can't stop the battery now and it doesn't fit into anything I'll ever have so it'll go in the trash when it gets there. Good old Scamazon strikes again. Only a small button dough is needed. Just fraud after fraud after fraud. Indeed very angry. Stay with Seconic. Yes, they're criminally overpriced (more of a scam), but at least their top-end devices work more or less as expected. If you buy this one, keep that crappy manual with you at all times because I promise you'll have to refer to it if you haven't used it in a month. Just a fun product. Maybe it's insanely accurate - who cares if it's absurd to use? So, so angry.

Pros
  • CONTRAST RANGE CONTROL - Measures subject and light contrast and displays minimum, maximum and average values for preselected aperture/shutter speed combinations
Cons
  • No instructions
