I am looking at this meter on ebay can anyone give me some feedback on whether this is a good light meter. And is this a good price for it. My budget is kinda tight right now and i would like your input on this.

I have been using a Minolta III for years and it has never let me down. The F is a great meter and the price is right. It's not the latest and greatest meter out there but I'm sure it will serve you well. Good Luck

Thanks for the input on this. i know it is not the newest thing on the market but if i am wanting to read ambient and flash what do the newer ones add that this doesn't.

I am not someone that needs the latest and greatest of everything.
As long as it does the job is my concern. :)

It doesn't have a built-in pocket wizard.

pocket wizard is a radio slave trigger for studio lights or flash units, but you need to have a pocket wizard receiver to use it. Google pocket wizard for more info.
