Digital camera reviews of Sekonic L-358 Flash Master Light Meter
Digital camera Review: Excellent Light Meter
Summary: 5 Stars
This Sekonic L-358 light meter is an excellent meter. I have fallen in love with it. Lots of Today's 35mm SLR camera meters are TTL Meters (reflected light measurement meters). Sekonic L-358 is such a high precision instrument which measures incident, reflected, flash (cord & cordless). I got great digital photos after I have used the reading on 2 different cameras under normal & Flash lights.
The pictures are great out of your camera and do not require any editing if used properly according to the instructions. I like the built in Memory function to store readings, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, 2 ISO functions, Weather proof Seal, Can include optional radio transmitter + receiver modules to wirelessly trigger flash units, So far Battery Life has been Good. This meter does not use "AA" it uses CR-123A so you will have to always carry one spare with you.

Great results. Never a problem. Bought the PocketWizard module, which also works great.Digital camera Review: Excellent Lightmeter - Great Value Too!

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. All the functions most people would want right out of the box. You can add pocket wizard triggering ability and buy a spot metering addon. It give the correct exposure quickly and takes the hassle out of calculating flash ratios. It is a worth while investment for digital photography. Even beginners will benefit from this product.Digital camera Review: Excellent meter

You can go wrong Sekonic. This a good meter that should cover 95% of your needs, and should last a long time. The only question is to get it with or without the card for your pocket-wizard (or equivalent). I dind't get the card but I know I can if I get into studio shoot. Highly recommended.
