[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 153271, member: 12496"] Then this link to a manual possibly may be of help to you. [URL="http://www.butkus.org/chinon/flashes_meters/honeywell_wp500p_wp1000/honeywell_wp500b_wp1000.htm"]Honeywell / WEIN Flashmeter instruction manual, user manual, PDF manual, free manuals[/URL] (click the PDF link right above picture) The meter was sold under different names. There were different models, there could be some small difference in the features? Adorama still sells later models of it [URL="http://www.adorama.com/searchsite/default.aspx?searchinfo=wein+flash+meter"]wein flash meter : Buy or Learn at Adorama[/URL] Note the first text page (with header "Description") mentions a 1/3000 second flash limit. That implies it probably works with speedlights from Full power to 1/4 power, but might not be accurate from 1/8 power on down? It is an incident meter. It is held extremely near the subject, and aimed at the camera lens, to read the light hitting the subject, at the subjects location. For ratio, you can aim it at each light, and set them for ratio, but final exposure for the aperture, the dome should be aimed at the camera. [/QUOTE]
