Light meter recommendations

[ateles]

I'm a looking to buy a light meter so I can start getting a feel for different light levels. I want to use it primarily indoors with artificial lights.

What have you had success using? Are there particular features or brands I should look for (or avoid)?

Thanks for any input!

If you have a digital camera and software that can display histograms, you can take photographs of pieces of paper, and compare the histogram peaks.

This is what I do---you don't need to buy another hunk of electronics.
