Answer 1

If you can pick up a Sekonic,they made the Director,but other models are good,some do not use batteries.Within your budget you may also find a Gossen,I use the Lunasix but the Profisix is good too.However these use old style batteries but you should be able to get them easily.

Jessops produced their own model and some of the Russian ones work well in bright light but as with all of these check the low light useability if you work in those conditions.The old Weston meters still give good use but were rather delicate.
