Works instantly, no waiting for a needle to settle, no squinting at tiny numbers.
Absolutely accurate.
For street shooting, one incident reading in the sun, one in the shade, you're done.
Reads studio strobes for digital too.
Completely worth the money.

I read reviews after reviews on this unit before I bought. i read many internet posts that said "light meters are not needed anymore since the digital age. Well I am glad that I didn't listen to most of them...because I went ahead and bought this meter from Adorama and it has helped my photography about a million per cent. I get the perfect exposure ever time. We make dogbeds at work, so we take photos with dogs in them. I don't get a lot of chances to capture a great shot, sometimes i only get one chance. This meter gives me perfect camera settings to catch that "one moment". I only wish I would have bought one 2 or 3 years ago. This is a fantastic unit and works great in the studio and on location. I will probably buy another to insure that i am never without one!! Buy this meter..and your life will be easier!

Very easy to use. Very accurate right out of the box. I've used separate flash and light meters for years but now to have them both in one it saves me a lot of time and trouble.

if I could have my way it would allow me to keep the aperture setting the same and adjust the shutter.

I needed this because I do on location work using strobes and I it always took me a bit to dial in the exposure. Now I nail it the first try everytime. Even in this digital ago of fancy built in light meters, a hand held accurate meter cannot be beat.

This light/Flash meter was the one I was looking for. Reason #1 very accurate, #2 Easy to use, and #3 very light weight. I wanted something that I could use almost right out of the box. A few minutes with the manual and you are up and running. This meter is a no brainer. you want be disappoineted.

I use this product for studio, on location architectural shoots and landscape. I always get accurate results. I would recommend this flash, it works in all lighting situations that I've encountered.

I have always borrowed a meter and finally bought one after many good reviews. It is awesome. As good or better than then ones I have borrowed, many of which cost more.

Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-308S Flashmate, Flash and Ambient, Incident & Reflected Exposure Meter:

This was easy to use right out of the box and took only about 5 minutes to figure out. Used with my Alienbees strobes it gets great results every time. It costs a little more than some of the others but seems to be worth it so far.

Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-308S Flashmate, Flash and Ambient, Incident & Reflected Exposure Meter:

Since i have not purchased high powered strobes yet- I needed a flash meter to coordinate my 2 Nikon flashes, both having different guide numbers. This unit has functioned very well and makes things much easier. When I get my strobes- I'll be all set.

Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-308S Flashmate, Flash and Ambient, Incident & Reflected Exposure Meter:

This light meter makes photographying easier. The exposure is not a problem any more, so I'm very happy with my L308-S. Incident light measures makes the distance from the camera to subject irrelevent.

just what i needed has not let me down yet

Comments about Sekonic Sekonic L-308S Flashmate, Flash and Ambient, Incident & Reflected Exposure Meter:

Great light meter that works with strobes. Must have when you venture into off-camera strobe lighting. Critical for using the Manual mode of your camera. Also useful for low light situations when you want to double check your cameras internal light meter.

Simple to use, a great 'first' light meter. Affordable and accurate. I get great results with my digital camera when using this meter and several synchronized flash heads.

Best bang for the buck & I love the size but....
There is no real calibration of this device which is a huge flaw as all cameras are going to meter a little different. The work around is to adust the ISO to offset the adjustment. My Rebel XTI is off by 1/3 stop so when I set the ISO on the camera at 100 I have to set the meter ISO at 125. This is just poor design but it works. The price & size are its saving grace.
