You mentioned using a tiny Sekonic meter in an earlier post - is it an L-208 Twinmate by any chance? If so are you finding it accurate? I’ve had one for years, but it now shows 1 EV less than my two other incident meters, which match each other, so it seems to have drifted out of calibration somehow and I’ll have to try and redo it.

Yes, my tiny Sekonic is an L208 Twinmate. I would say it's pretty accurate on reflected light, but the incident dome is so small it's hard to get it pointed accurately enough in that mode so the incident readings vary a bit. I'd much rather use the Sekonic L-358 for incident readings ... the big dome makes it much easier to point and much more accurate. It's been my reference meter for years ... on incident readings, the L-208 tends to read -1.0 to -0.5 EV lower than the L-358.
I used to have the spot-meter version of the L-358 but I rarely used it because of it size, so when one of the internal things became loose I gave it to a photo charity in the hope that they could repair it and make use of it.
My most-used meter is the L-308S, which I like a lot. I’ve just calibrated the L-208 against it, to within about 0.2 EV I reckon. It’s a straightforward procedure, I just watched a couple of YouTube videos and decided even I might be able to do it.
I like the L-208 because you can see all the combinations, unlike the L-308s, but it’s easy to dislodge things without noticing.

Yes, that's one of the nice things about it. It's small and light too.
I looked the L-208 up on YouTube and I see that it's very easy to calibrate ... I just might give that a whirl, synchronize it with the L-358. Thanks for giving me the motivation!
BTW: There's an interesting light meter app for iOS/iPadOS named "Light Meter Wheel" by David Quiles that has the same nice feature—you can see all the combinations at a glance. It's been around a couple of years but is still running nicely on my iPhone 15 Pro on iOS 18.2.1. I think it's a freebie too.

FWIW, I'm not seeing all of the posts to the list. The last post I saw
from you was "PESO 2024 - 003".
I've seen several responses to this "PESO 2025 - 012, 013, 014 - GDG".
The posts I do see come in twice.

FWIW, I have not necessarily posted for each and every PESO 2025 photo I've uploaded to Flickr. There are currently 17 PESO 2025 photos posted in my "PESO 2025" gallery ...

I think I emailed notifications for numbers 003, 008, and 012 to 014.
