I do not need to put on any attachments for flashmetering and spotmetering, its all built-in.If it had an analog wheel and a needle, it would be a perfect meter I also used to have Gossen Luna Pro SBC which in my opinion has better performance in very low light conditions 4EV and bellow.You can meter the center of a blackhole and get a reading with Luna.
However, I sold the Luna because I frequently found myself in a need of spotmeter and changing the attachments seemed cumbersome. Flashmetering is very accurate on both meters (if I can, I always meter my bursts instead of relying on TTL). A new Variosix without the spot attachment costs less than a Sekonic 558 in the UK. A 508 will be cheaper because its used and at least several years old. The low light performance of the Gossen does seem better than the Sekonic 508, which in spot mode wont work below EV3 though in incident mode it will reach EV -2, not much worse than the Gossen at -3 EV. The spot attachment for the Gossen is 5 degrees, that of the Sekonic reaches 1 degree via a zoom. Personally I chose the Sekonic because for me a one degree spotmeter is more important to me than the ability to meter in one stop darker conditions. Ive had three 508s (one lost, two still used)and theyve all been accurate enough to expose colour slides well.
