Re: IR light meter

[Foamb <cpurdum@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wasn't aware I was sending in MIME format, my apologies to all. 

I only chose the Gossen because of it's reflected and incident
capabilities. There was no mention of a Gossen in the article just that
the author had modified several incident and reflected meters as well
the pentax spot. I currently use a Sekonic L-508 but am not about to go
breaking it apart. If the Gossen Luna Pro Digital is indeed IR
sensitive, then the addition of a #87 filter in front of the photo diode
would make for a nice IR dedicated refelctive/incident meter. still not
sure about the Melles Griot 035WP622 filter. If I can find one for a
fair price, I'll probably try it out.
