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.

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.
