Pros

Light meter has all the modes i need for my purposes, aperture and shutter speed. Wow makes my lighting issues so much easier, no wondering if it is hot or not with a white background. I don't have to guess the exposure on my old film cameras that don... Read More

It is a professional instrument in the true sense of the word, not the polluted sense. Basic operation is pretty straightforward, and without even reading instructions it's pretty obvious how it works.

With flash meter it is a matter of dialing the dial jog. Flash metering, ev readings (exposure value), and ambient light readings.

Set the stop increments to 1/3 straight away. You have to have the dip switches a certain way to get an either/or effect.

6 volt rechargeable batteries and would caution anyone thinking of doing so to verify with sekonic the overvoltage will not be detrimental.

Buy the best one you can afford

Original delivery was not expected until monday but arrived saturday early noon.

Seller sent item very quickly and it arrived days ahead of time.

Didn't come with batteries but overall exactly as pictured

This is my first light meter, so i can't make comparisons to other models, but this l-358 is easy to use and understand provide... Read More

We have considered our radio system should be compatible with other company radio system but it will not come true todayor tomorrow.

The more expensive sekonic meters tend to be overkill unless you are a cinematographer, scientist, or shoot a lot videos.

What makes sekonic l-358 is different from the others.
