Hi Eric:
Incident metering is the more reliable method to measure the light
with a hand lightmeter IMO, except for some special and exceptional situations
where the reflective method could be better or necessary;BTW, the incident
method requires some experience to put the lightmeter dome in right position
to obtain the exact amount of light and shadow regarding light and shadow in
the scene considering the camera position, a difference in the angle of
incidence of light and shadow between the dome position and the scene regarding
the camera position could cause a bad meter read, otherwise the incident light
reads are very reliable, quick and comfortable.
