Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-758Cine DigitalMaster, Programmable Ambient & Flash Digital Exposure Meter for Cinematographers & Still Photographers.:

I'VE BEEN USING THIS METER WITH A RED ONE AND A CANON 5D MKII (28-70MML & 70-200MM L LENSES) AND I'VE BEEN HAPPY WITH IT.

THIS METER COMES IN VERY HANDY IN TODAYS WORLD OF DIGITAL SINCE SOME PEOPLES CAMERAS ARE PULLING DOUBLE DUTY: STILLS AND VIDEO. ALSO HAVING BOTH AN INCIDENT AND REFLECTED METER IN THE SAME UNIT IS A NICE FEATURE. THE ABILITY TO HAVE THE METER PULL AN AVERAGE RATHER THAN DOING THE SIMPLE MATH IN MY HEAD OF COUNTING STOPS HAS SAVED A BIT OF TIME AS WELL. BEING ABLE TO ASSSIGN MEMORIES FOR A PARTICULAR CAMERA AND LENS IS ALSO ANOTHER HELPFUL FEATURE SINCE RARELY ARE ANY TWO CHIPS IN THE SAME MODEL OF CAMERA THE SAME ISO SPEED.

THE ONLY NEGATIVE THAT I CAN THINK OF IS THE BATTERY. WHILE IT'S NOT AN UNCOMMON ONE, IT'S NOT A STANDARD AA OR AAA TYPE. SO IN OTHER WORD'S IF YOU ARE GOING OUT OF TOWN ON A SHOOT TAKE TAKE A NON POWERED METER OR SOME BACK UP BATTERIES WITH YOU. THAT'S NOT TO SAY THIS UNIT EATS BATTERIES. I STILL HAVEN'T HAD TO BUY A SECOND BATTERY YET, LONGLIFE, BUT A GUY NAMED "MURPHY" ALWAYS HAS A HABIT OF CREEPING UP ON YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT THOUGH.

ASIDE FROM THAT I FIND IT VERY EASY TO USE BOTH FOR THE LEARNING AMATEUR AND OR THE PRO.
