Digital camera reviews of Sekonic L-358 Flash Master Light Meter
Digital camera Review: Great Falsh Meter
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just a great meter and very easy to use. I read the instructions once long ago and no issue after that. It is fairly intuitive. Most of my flash use is strobist off camera multi-flash using Nikon CLS to control exposure and portable modifiers. I carry the meter just in case I need to switch to manual control. I like that I can remember how to use this meter regardless of how long it has been since I last needed it. Of course this meter shines for use with studio strobes. During the few occasions I shoot sharing strobes, I have noted my and other shooters' Sekonic meters have always been consistent. If I was a frequent studio strobe user, I would add the optional Pocket Wizard radio trigger module.Digital camera Review: Great first light meter
Summary: 4 Stars
This has been a very good light meter with great results. It is very simple to use. The construction is all plastic but does not feel cheap. When I saw Carlos Baez using the same meter at a seminar it was very reassuring. If it's good enough for one of the best fashion photogs in the world it's good enough for me.Digital camera Review: Great flash meter
Summary: 5 Stars
Would recommend this flash meter to anyone that shoot with studio strobes.
Also a great meter to have to meter flash with ambient light.
Digital camera Review: Great for what it can do
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product, however I'm returning mine to get the L-758. I decided to trade up because I want the spot metering for when I decide to take my manual Nikon FM2n out rather than the D700. If taking a picture of a subject you can't get to that's partly in shadow and you're standing in daylight it's easier to spot meter it with the 758.
I'm also getting more into studio flash and like the calibration features of the 758. The 758 might have poor reviews here by people not understanding its complexity, but you can find rave reviews of it on other sites.
If you just need basic intuitive incident and flash metering, get the 358. You can buy a spot meter for it, but I like that the 758 has it built in with a digital reading in the viewfinder plus the price difference gets really small when you start buying those attachments for the 358 anyway.
The one thing I would change is to have options for other radios like the skyports rather than just the pocket wizards. I use skyports because they let me control my elinchrom lights wirelessly, otherwise I'd have gone PW.
Digital camera Review: Great product!
