Pros & Cons
Pros
Works for ambient and flash. In strobe mode, press the button once, and it is ready to meter the strobe.
Highlights
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

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

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

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

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
