Sekonic L-308S-U Flashmate Lightmeter: How does this compare to others?

6 years 6 months ago #544865 by ShaunHill
Hello there,

I need a light meter for ambient light whilst out and about and flash when doing studio work. I know that Sekonic units are very well built and rated. I am struggling to understand the differences between then and deciding which one to go for. I like the slightly larger ones for the fact that you can twist the light sensor and move it in and out for different light readings.

However, I am still unsure of the main differences between models and which one to choose.

Could someone please tell me how does this compare to Sekonic flash master l-358 & Sekonic l-478d litemaster pro? What features are missing?

Also, in relation Sekonic L-478D-U Lightmeter, what makes it an upgrade over the original Sekonic l-478d litemaster pro light meter?

Hello Gary, thank you for your reply. I have seen that comparison table but to be honest I'm blinded by science. I could do with having people share their thoughts on the actual products having used them and knowing what these details mean in real world usage.
