There’s so much more in a customers decision than ‘price’. I’d even think that ‘price’ isn’t even very high up there.

Yes. I have Pocket Light Meter by Nuwaste Studios (most used). Lightmate is comparable. The app Lightme should be very good but I find it very confusing and grab to Pocket Light Meter 9 times out of 10.Point the iphone camera at something 18% grey (grass, tiles or asphalt) in the shade and consider the rest as sunny 16 (clouds entering, +1, sun brighter -1, etc).

Just use your lightmeter and app simultaniously at home fooling around and you’ll quickly learn when it needs adjustment and with what it is most reliable.

Have you considered just setting up your own website?

I don’t get it. You bought (was gifted) a picture package of 15 photos. You want more photos and the photographer asks more money for them to get them to you. And now you’re expecting that they’d just dump all the RAW files your way? I find the pricing pretty steep btw but that’s not in question.

Do you go by the bakeries in the evening, expecting they gift you all bread that hasn’t sold? Because you already bought one loaf earlier that day?
