FEATURED REVIEWS
What was I thinking?
Honestly, the difference in my photography has been eye opening. Being able to dial in the exposure first try is a game changer. I found the interface intuitive. I was up and running after a half hour of familiarizing myself with the unit.
Great Improvement
Sekonic makes great light meters but the 858 is their best yet primarily because of its ease of use. Not a bunch of buttons to keep track of, everything is right there on the touch screen. If you are looking for the best light meter all around this is it.
For photographers and filmmakers seeking advanced light measurement control, the Sekonic Speedmaster L-858D-U Light Meter, complete with a pack of 4 AA 1.5V Alkaline batteries, is a game-changer. This innovative device, boasting a 2.7" color touch screen, is the world's first multi-function light meter designed to meet the evolving needs of today's image-makers.
Built on over 60 years of industry experience, the Sekonic Speedmaster L-858D-U is a significant leap forward in design and functionality. It is the first light meter capable of measuring flash, while also providing accurate ambient exposure readings in low-light conditions as dim as 0.1 lx. This feature empowers photographers and filmmakers to capture stunning imagery in a variety of lighting scenarios.
The Sekonic Speedmaster L-858D-U is also the first to offer wireless compatibility with Elinchrom, Phottix, and PocketWizard products. This compatibility provides a streamlined workflow and ultimate control for photographers. The meter's ability to measure High Speed Sync (HSS) and calculate proper ambient-flash exposure opens up limitless creative possibilities for precision flash exposure control.
With enhanced light-sensitivity and extended ISO and Shutter Speed Ranges, the Sekonic Speedmaster L-858D-U is designed to perform in extremely low light conditions. It matches the high-ISO capabilities of modern cameras, enabling accurate metering in low-light and providing critical data for creative decision-making.
The L-858D-U also introduces the ability to measure flash duration, a key factor in freezing fast-moving subjects. This feature demystifies one of photography's most challenging techniques, making it accessible to photographers of all levels.
The device's radio control modules enable wireless triggering, expanding upon Sekonic's pioneering wireless exposure measurement technology. The L-858D-U also features an increased light sensitivity, making it possible to accurately meter scenes lit by candlelight or capture the right measurement for long-exposure night photography.
The L-858D-U is the first meter capable of measuring the stroboscopic pulses fired from strobes during Hi-Speed Sync. This feature provides photographers with an accurate way of measuring their lights when they want to overpower the sun or achieve a very shallow depth of field.
The L-858D-U's flash analyzing function is particularly useful for on-location shooting. It measures ambient and flash simultaneously and automatically indicates the percentage of flash in the total exposure. This allows for easy adjustment of the ambient flash mix, aiding in lightening shadows or reducing background detail.
The device also includes a full information spot viewfinder, expanded shutter speed range for ambient light and strobe, extended ISO range, Full HD Cine and CINE modes, filter compensation mode, and a 2.7" color dot-matrix touch screen. It also offers connectivity with MAC/PC DTS Software for firmware upgrades, custom settings, and exposure profiling.
Designed for durability, the Sekonic Speedmaster L-858D-U is dust-proof and splash-proof, ensuring reliable performance in any location. This light meter is a comprehensive tool designed to meet and exceed the demands of modern photographers and filmmakers.
