I normally carry a couple of meters with me on trips - if backpacking will 
always take the Pentax V Analogue spotmeter in preference to the Gossen 
Lunasix Pro F.  The advantage of the Lunasix is that it also acts as a 
flashmeter for all that fill-in work in the field :-)  Booth meters have 
analogue scales.

Digital meters are counterintuitive in that it is easier to work with an 
analogue scale when thinking about exposure.

The other option is to take Robert Lawrence with you, he is heavier than 
either the Pentax or Gossen meters but is as accurate as either :-)
