Chinotechs L.D. Meter: A Tiny Light Meter with Built-In Laser Rangefinder for Film Photography
A detailed review of the Chinotechs L.D. Meter, a compact metal device that pairs a laser rangefinder with a light meter for film photographers. Available in Pro (7°) and Lite (30°) versions (plus NYX), it meters ISO 3–8000, supports aperture or shutter priority, and offers single/continuous metering with a 0.1m–50m rangefinder; the reviewer praises build quality, battery life, and versatility, but notes a fiddly control scheme due to few buttons. It’s positioned as a rare all-in-one meter for landscape/panoramic work, with a few alternatives like Keks KM-Q, Voigtlander VC Speed Meter, and Sekonic Speedmaster; price ranges around $119–$179, and it's available on B&H/KEH.
