Anyone using the LUMU Power 2 Light Color meter iPhone hardware & App?  It looks very interesting. Price was just dropped from 399USD to 299USD. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Barry

Just ordered mine, upgrading from the original version with 3.5mm jack. Always thought it was a great device and app.

It is excellent. I particularly like the dedicated color metering sensor. I use it with the app to take and save color readings in mixed light settings, for later white balance adjustments. I use it less for regular exposure metering, because the metering in the Q2 is so good. But if I am taking posed portraits, I prefer to use the incident meter and set the camera's exposure manually from that reading.

The Lumu sensor unit is tiny compared to a stand-alone light meter, so I always carry it in my camera bag, and it can slip into a pocket for even easier carrying. "The best light meter is the one you always have with you." I own a Sekonic L-358, but I never carry it anymore.
