Sekonic L-358 Flash Master Light Meter

I purchased this light meter when I got a chance to use a film medium format camera for awhile. It has every feature that I could like and was so good at exposure measurements that I started using it on my Canon 30D digital when the time for the shot permitted.

At first when I purchased it I thought it was so 'old school' to have a lightmeter, but I knew I was going to have it to use the medium format film camera I had and I wanted to go with strobes eventually so I was going to need it as well for the best results. I was quite surprised to find out how much of a difference it makes on digital and it pointed out how even a good digital camera can only do so good of an exposure prediction because of color and reflection assumptions it has to make.

If you've got to get exposure right on, then get a good light meter. The L-358 is a great light meter for the money.

Easy to use product that any beginner should have for digital photography.
1/10 stop increments is the most important feature!

I am very impressed with this light meter. It does everything except make me breakfast. It is only a few dollars more then your cheapest flash meter yet it gives you tons of features.

This product works, all of my exposures come out correctly, also it's easy to use.

This is an excellent meter, but, as with all other light meters, it's a bit pricey. However, compared with some other good meters, it's a bargain.
