Light meters
 
What kind is a decent one and why? I guess I'm looking for something under $300... Can I even get something decent for under that price?

Do most of you use a light meter for your shots?

Thanks

The Sekonic L358 is a decent one and it costs about $350.

^ yeah i love mine. you can sometimes find them on craigslist for 250 i think

niforpix 02-09-2009 09:29 AM

Any reason why you'd pick that one over others? Sorry, I know nothing about light meters :(

Sekonic seems to have gotten the monopoly on light meters in the professional market after Minolta left the market. Actually, Kenko bought Minolta's light meter line, but since the Kenko name isn't a high end name, they've kind of fallen by the wayside. I can still get them, as they are excellent light meters. The one thing the Sekonics have over the Kenko meters is the ability to wirelessly trigger Pocket Wizards, but the attachment for those are stupidly expensive.

Hey Senna, do you have the Sekonic L358 in stock?

Thanks

Senna4ever 02-15-2009 05:41 PM

I think so, but they did go up in price.

niforpix 02-15-2009 06:23 PM

How much are they?

Senna4ever 02-15-2009 06:45 PM

$400ish.

niforpix 02-15-2009 07:02 PM

Sh*t.

niforpix 02-16-2009 05:16 PM

Anything decent for less than $400?

Senna4ever 02-16-2009 05:43 PM

Nothing in stock.

niforpix 02-17-2009 08:36 AM

Thanks.

niforpix 02-17-2009 04:40 PM

niforpix 02-19-2009 08:06 AM
