Summary
This meter is accurate and easy to use but it is made of very fragile cheap plastic. I cannot recommend it to the pro that will use it alot. It is not weatherprof which is a big problem for me. Yes it is very cheaply priced but it is also cheaply constructed. I guess you get what you pay for.

Strengths
Nice size LCD accurate very inexpensive easy to use.Two year warranty.

Weaknesses
Made of very cheap fragile plastic.For a couple of dollars mre you can buy a sekonic weatherproof meter with woreless upgradeability and a three year warranty.

Summary
Purchased Polaris light meter from Ebay in mint condition after recommendation from a local photography student who owned same unit. Had a chance to compare the Polaris light meter with a much more expensive meter "Gossen Luna Star F2 at over 400 bucks" Both funtioned with same accuracy. Probably one of the best values in photography.

Strengths
Accuracy, Affordable, Easy to use, Large display,

Weaknesses
Mentioned in other posts, I am aware of the costruction making one feel that this unit is more vunerable. I have adjusted to this by always remembering to wear a shirt with a front pocket for more protection. Given the price, I dont mind at all.

Summary
Well What can I say its great! I purchased it And used it the first time and loved it. It was less expensive than the others i looked at and just as acurate . I used a Minolta flash meter a few times and this is easier than that to operate. Great buy from the beginner to the pro.

Strengths
Very easy operation and accurate.And the price wasnt bad either!!!!

Weaknesses
Are you kiddin? The ones who say that a weakness of it is looking cheap i say this as long as its operational and accurste who cares what it looks like? Unless of course your trying to win a Flash meter beauty contest.But i havent seen any of those around
