  • Caroline......the light....
Style: L-308X-U Flashmate
I was concerned on the price at first, but after using this light meter the very first time I felt much better. What I am say is no more 5 or 6 shots testing for the right exposure or heading into a photo editing to fix it. I am able to properly expose right away and minimize the retouching process. Definitely an affordable tool for your kit. ... show more

  • It does the job.
Style: L-308X-U Flashmate
I should have bought this years ago. I'm now able to dial my camera settings in quicker and not take multiple shots trying to find the right setting.

  • Easy to operate, provides accurate readings.
Style: L-308X-U Flashmate
The Sekonic L-308X-U Flashmate Light Meter performed as advertised. Taking readings is easy, and exposures were right on the mark. I used a Mamiya RB67, totally manual camera, and I was able to get perfect exposures at a variety of shutter speeds and aperture readings. I would highly recommend this meter for photography that requires precise readings. ... show more

  • Simple...and "Easy to use"!
Style: L-308X-U Flashmate
Being a Professional Photographer, I am very particular about how thing add up. I have been a photographer for more years than I can remember (Almost) but I decided to finally buy a "Simple and Accurate" light meter. It dose not matter what type of subjects you care to shoot, I assure you that this all the light meter you need!!! This meter will do what ever you want to do. I use all manual flash units, because I want each light to stay where I set it. Light is cumulative, so if you set up "EACH LIGHT" to do a specific thing, and you are using several lights, you need to know what each light is adding to the scene, and then you need to know what "ALL THE LIGHTS" are doing to complete the final shot. This meter is not only easy to use, it is very accurate and makes the entire shoot go "EXTREMELY FAST"!!! As I get older...time becomes more important, and this wonderful little meter really is "THE TICKET" for me. I will say that I also got a grip, or cover, for mine that is red in color and soft to the touch. I think the cover (Or Grip...As Amazon calls it) was over priced, however I wanted one, so what can I say. OH WELL!!! If you want to meter for incident light, ambient light, or for flash, then you will love this meter. Take it from me, (Mr. Picky) this is all the meter you will "EVER NEED"..."NO MATTER WHAT YOU SHOOT"!!! Hope you take stock in what I have said, because I took the time to write this "FOR YOU"! Thanks, Shooter Boone. ... show more

  • Compact
Style: L-308X-U Flashmate
I have big hands, so this is a very compact device which I can easily drop if I'm not careful. Good thing it comes with a long strap that I can hang around my neck. I keep it with me whenever I'm with camera. It's indispensable for use getting the right amount of light with my strobes without a lot of guessing and test shots. ... show more

  • Great tool!
Style: L-308X-U Flashmate
Simple and easy to use. Very accurate, and a nice refinement on the camera's meter in difficult lighting situations.

  • Does everything I need.
Style: L-308X-U Flashmate
Great quality and value light meter. Covers all the bases that I need for ambient and flash photography. The only reason I would purchase one of the more expensive models is if I really needed reflective spot metering in my light meter. Not a need for me as I am primarily using this for studio or fill flash. ... show more

  • Get the light right
Style: L-308X-U Flashmate
Oh, so that is right setting for the given light? Finally!!!! I can get the right settings for my speedlights with just one test shot. What took me so long? This has been a god-send and has helped speed up the process and so easy to use. Even I could figure it out with just a few button presses. Thanks Sekonic. ... show more
