Default Light Meter
Hope everyone had a holiday full of cheer!

Anyone know of a decent light meter that's not going to break the bank. I know "Photography" and the phrase "break the bank" should not be used in the same sentence.
I'm looking for something that will give me a little more then the light meter in my Nikon D80.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you want a light meter that is also a flash meter?

What "more" do you want than what the cameras meter is doing?

Get a cheap "White balance lens cap" (some stores and E-bay).
It can be used to set a custom WB or to take incident light meter readings with your camera.
