About this item

The Sekonic redesigned the popular L-308BII to produce the L-308S (Red) Flashmate. This meter offers the latest in component technology and precise calibration for accurate digital exposures. Software enhancements offer the photographer a choice of full, 1/2 or 1/3 step selectable aperture settings to display data just the way today's digital cameras do. With 1/10th stop measurement and read out, the ultimate in accuracy and consistency is available for D-SLRs or point and shoot digital cameras. The LCD panel has also been improved for better readability. Information such as ISO, measuring modes and selected settings has been redesigned much like the very popular Sekonic L-358 FlashMaster.

Tiny enough to fit in a shirt pocket, the L-308s packs a massive amount of light-reading capability in a featherweight 3.4 oz package. The L-308s handles incident or reflected measurements for ambient or flash light. Flash can be measured in cord or cordless modes. Readouts are available in f/stops and shutter speeds, employing shutter priority for convenient display of exposure permutations. This versatile meter even displays 8, 12, 16, 18, 24, 25, 30, 32, 64 and 128 fps for cinema. The L-308s runs on 1 easy-to find AA battery.

Key Features

  • Incident or Reflected Light Measurement: Reflected light readings are captured at a receiving angle of about 40 degrees for subject readings made at the camera. Slide the L-308S's built-in Lumisphere over the silicon photo diode for incident light exposure readings of three-dimensional subjects
  • Ambient / Flash Measurement: Incident or reflected ambient light readings can be made with the L-308S over a wide range of lighting conditions at shutter speeds from 60 seconds to 1/8,000th of a second and apertures from f/stops of f/1.4 to f/90.9
  • Accurate Measurements: Exposures accurate down to a 1/10 stop for both ambient and electronic flash light readings are available in full-stop mode
  • Compact Size and Lightweight: The L-308S is the smallest digital flash meter for reflective and incident light readings in ambient or electronic flash lighting conditions. It is compact and light enough to fit into a shirt pocket, yet versatile enough to meet virtually every photographic demand
