Quality


Pros → fantastic meter, high precision, multiple modes, high ev range.


Good display, simple button layout, instructions are a bit sparse.


For flash measurements, enter settings on “daylight,” but measure on “flash.


Nevertheless, great meter for continuous and strobe lighting, or mixed lighting conditions.

Price


And this is an affordable light meter, worth the money.


It’s affordable and it is highly recommended for the photography beginners like me.


A lot of money for something that does not feel like the cost


Not super excited about the cost but still a great product

Packaging/appearance


Seller provided a decent sekonic case which i use for storing that flash meter when not in use.

Competitiveness


It works with the canon 600 ex ll rt, canon st-e3-rt, and canon 430exlll-rt.

    However the reflected light metering is not useful


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I will certainly go for the more professional model with spot reflected metering

    A lot of money for something that does not feel like the cost


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its about 43 years old and had served me well but this new sekonic l308xu is so much smaller and easier to use that i should have bought one years ago


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    With my old ef1 i had to be careful not to bump the iso and shutter speed dials off position or my resulting f stop readings would become meaningless and i somehow managed to do this often


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have some old film cameras were the light meter has stopped working this has close the gap with that issue


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Was doing some guessing as to camera settings for flash photography using this meter takes out the guess work


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    With the sekonic l308xu the photos are all properly exposed
