Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-208 Twinmaster Compact Incident / Reflected Light Meter:

I was looking for a good-quality small meter to use with my Yashica Mat 124G, because the built-in meter is not always very accurate. The Sekonic L-208 turned out to be the perfect solution, at a reasonable price.

Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-208 Twinmaster Compact Incident / Reflected Light Meter:

I was looking for something that had a shoe mount that would fit on some an old rolli as well as an old bronica, that would not be to digital, as I wanted to get exposures that would be very old school yet would be accurate enough to allow me to use for a variety of small projects with other cameras..this fit the bill.

I use this with my M4 and Mamiya 6 while doing street photography. It perfect except that the ISO setting can slip if not careful. Too bad Sekonic didn't make it locking.

Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-208 Twinmaster Compact Incident / Reflected Light Meter:

The Seconic L-208 is compact, accurate, light, and easy to use. And it's sensitive enough for most applications. Perfect for those photographers who like to do things the old-fashioned way - by taking their own exposere readings. Or those who love using those wonderful, classic, meterless 35mm and medium format cameras.

Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-208 Twinmaster Compact Incident / Reflected Light Meter:

Very small, compact and lightweight. Real pocket-size meter, but readings are not always consistant. Better than nothing, but I would not use it for very critical work.

Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-208 Twinmaster Compact Incident / Reflected Light Meter:

I actually had my eye on Model # L-358 but decided to give this one a try for less than half the cost. When I tried it, It worked well! It worked even better than I expected it would. It is very accurate for a analog meter. It does not have a flash function, but I don't need that at this time. If you are on the fence about this meter, don't worry, it works well!

Great accessory for my Leica IIIC
By OrvilleVerified Purchaser from Minnesota on 7/10/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use, Improves Product Function, Lightweight
Cons:
Poor battery connection
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-208 Twinmaster Compact Incident / Reflected Light Meter:

This small meter has a unique mount that allows me to mount it on the accessory/flash shoe of the camera. Now I have a light weight meter right on the camera instead of carrying a separate light meter. Very nice. The shoe mount design is flexible enough to use on a 1950 camera.
I did have to add a cardboard shim to get the battery to make contact in the battery compartment.
