Keks KMQ OLED Light Meter

The Keks KMQ is an ultra-compact OLED light meter designed for analogue photographers who want accurate exposure readings without adding bulk to their camera. Measuring little more than the size of a sugar cube and weighing just 18.5g, it slips neatly into almost any camera's hot or cold shoe while delivering fast, reliable reflective light metering. Available with either a top or rear-facing OLED display, and in black or chrome finishes, there's a version to suit both your shooting style and your camera.

Why We Like It

The KMQ proves that a great light meter doesn't have to be large. Despite its tiny size, it feels beautifully made thanks to its aluminium construction and delivers impressively accurate readings using a high-resolution ambient light sensor. The rechargeable battery is another welcome feature, removing the need for button cells, while the updated 2025 firmware adds continuous metering, exposure compensation, and a cleaner interface that makes it even easier to use in the field.

Michael ★★★★★

It's so light I honestly forget it's on the hot shoe until I need it, and the top display is perfect for quick glances without taking my eye off the scene. I've been getting spot-on exposures right out of the box, even in tricky mixed light, which is a huge time-saver. For a meter this compact, the

Emma ★★★★★

Finally, a light meter that doesn't turn my compact camera bag into a brick. The OLED display is perfectly legible even in bright sunlight, and the single button operation means I can dial in my settings without taking my eye off the viewfinder.

Andrew C. ★★★★★

The OLED screen is incredibly sharp and easy to read even in bright sunlight, which is a huge plus when I'm shooting outdoors. It’s also so small that it slides right into the coin pocket of my jeans without any bulk. I've been nailing my exposures ever since I started using it.
