Your cart is empty.The L-308S-U delivers accurate exposure readings in full, half, or third-stop increments to mirror the exposure displays of most popular cameras. When set to full-stop mode, exposures are displayed in tenth-stop increments with a repeat accuracy of +/- 0.1 EV. Reflected readings capture at a light receiving angle of about 40-degrees, or slightly wider than the viewing field of a normal lens. For incident readings, a small, built-in Lumisphere slides over the silicon diode sensor. For flat-field incident readings, a Luminism (included) snaps over the sensor for metering flat artwork or measuring contrast and/or exposure ratios within a scene. Electronic flash exposures can be taken with or without a PC cord. Exposure data is displayed on the LCD screen, which has been redesigned to emulate the look and feel of the LCD on the 'bigger-brother' Sekonic L-358 flash meter. Exposure data and related information is displayed using large type and easy-to-read icons. At ISO 100 ambient light can be read over an EV range of 0 to 19.9 in both incident and reflected mode. Flash exposures are displayed from f/1.4 to f/90.9 (or about f/124). ISO sensitivity is set from 3 to 8000 in third-stop increments. For cinema applications, the L-308S can be programmed to display exposure times from 8 to 128 frames-per-second. The Sekonic L-308S FLASHMATE comes with a Luminism (with pouch), a soft case, strap, synchro terminal cap and a AA battery.

Sekonic meters are always top notch. This is a great starter meter and I've recommended it to all of my students for their studio classes. Very simple to use and has always been very accurate. Plus they are well made and very durable.

The item met my expectations except in respect of its functionality for flash photography. Neither was this clear to me when buying the item. The item has no wireless capability to trigger a flash system. It relies on sync cord connection (not supplied other than as an accessory at additional cost) or use of a timer function during which the camera shutter is used to trigger the flash. The term flashmate is therefore somewhat misleading.Otherwise I have tested its incident and reflected light functions with my Cano 60d and found it to be very accurate. I think it is well priced for its capabilities.

Everything you need! Superb quality! Price is a little on the middle, but it worth it. Working perfect.

The Sekonic L-308S-U quickly becomes an indispensable item in the camera bag. It takes the guesswork out of using off-camera flash, lets you know exactly how you're doing on setting up constant lighting for your subject, and also assists in gauging various light configurations, bulb output, and filter impact. Take a baseline reading, jot down your numbers, then make a change and see how it impacts your final result, quickly and easily before ever having to snap a shot. It may not have some of the nifty features of the more expensive cousins in the Sekonic lineup, but it's like a basic hammer; it just works, and it's simple to operate.

A basic ambient/flash meter but seems expensive for what you are getting. I will be returning it. Now with digital a handheld meter seems to be not needed.

I purchased this as "less expensive" alternative for use in the field, or on location, and works like a charm. It is a more 'Basic" meter but great for quick checks, and it's easy enough for anyone to use.

Small, accurate, and easy to use. Tested this with both on-camera as well as off-camera flash, results were excellent, repeatable, and, therefore reliable. Tested the reflective light metering and itmatches my camera's on-board metering exactly.A word on the output from this meter:If you select the output option to f-stops, display will be whole f-number plus tenths of a stop. This means that if your meter shows f=16.8, your exposure setting should be f=16 + 8-tenths of a stop, which is actually closer to f:22 than f:16. You will need to keep this in mind as only whole f-stops are shown: eg, f:2.8, f:4, f:5.6, f:8, f:11, and so on. Optionally, you can set exposure value to read EV numbers directly, and make the conversions yourself.Pros:Small form factorRuns on a single AA batteryAuto shut-offMeters flash, incident and reflective lightTests out well, with reliable, predictable resultsCons:None so far.

Works great - maybe should read the instructions - works in sync variable of shutter and aperture or independent - 125 and ISO 100 then just hold the main button- then fire to meter an incident point - working with lighting aspect ratios and light to camera aspect ratios as well - makes it easier - if doing high key look at the shot after on the PC as the viewfinder isn't what is - Measure your own and little to no adjustments to exposure or contrasts needed-
