Don't Hesitate

I avoided getting one. But now that I did, I love using it. Not sure I'd dump a whole lot into it, which makes these a bit easier to pay for. For the price... It's probably more than you need...

Besides ambient readings the L-308DC can meter flash in incident or reflected mode with or without a sync cord. Finally, at a mere 3.4 oz, this light-reading tool is also lightweight.
