I like the Pentax Digital Spotmeter. I guess it's not really
inexpensive, but think of it as a once in a lifetime purchase. It's
very easy to use and has a wide exposure range. It's also pretty
rugged. To figure out the pinhole exposure needed I carry a paper
calculator to convert the exposure time. (See the pinhole photography
section of my web page for a couple of different calculators.)

If you're happy with the Sekonic Studio Deluxe II, then why not
recommend them? Also in that price range are the Gossen DigiSix Ultra
and the Gossen DigiFlash Ultra. If the Digiflash had been out at the
time I probably would have gotten it instead of the Sekonic L-358
(more expensive and complicated to use).
