• Analogue Sekonic Light Meter Needle won't move 
  I'll assume you haven't dropped it.Is the needle free to move when you press the button- does it move if you shake the meter a little? If so, it suggests a wire has come adrift. If not, some fault...

• How much does Dynamic Range matter? 
  Yea I was talking about recording bit depth, not the A/D.  I guess my question is if you have a camera like the C series cameras that are 12bit sensors that are lowered to 8bit when encoded, i...
