I use a Galco Filmeter by Racine. Times in 30, 36, 60, and 90ths of a second. About 40 years old now, no problems, no failures. Thinking back across my entire life, I can't think of any electrical, or electronic item that hasn't ultimately failed in some irritating way, from not working as expected, or right, to not working at all, and the stuff I have now, just hasn't yet.
