Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The Sekonic L-358 Flash Master is an advanced, yet easy to operate, exposure analyzing light meter, that incorporates the latest technology in handheld meters. The L-358 features a retractable incident Lumisphere for standard or cosine corrected light readings, provides both hemispherical and narrow angle readings. Measurements can be taken in either incident or flash metering modes with accurate and convenient flash and ambient analyzing. In all electronic flash measurements, an analyzing feature simultaneously evaluates both flash and ambient light and displays the values in three ways: a) combined readings of flash and ambient, b) percentage of flash in the total exposure or c) simultaneous display of flash, ambient and combined readings on the analog scale. An easy-to-read illuminated LCD panel directly displays full, 1/2 or 1/3-stop shutter speeds or apertures and exposure/calibration compensation.

Selecting settings is quick and easy with the built-in Jog wheel and cine shutter speeds up to 360 frames per second makes the L-358 a versatile tool in the most demanding lighting scenario. Optional spot finders extend the versatility of the meter with a choice of 1, 5 or 10 degree measuring angles with a viewable parallax-free viewfinder.

Analyzing Function - A simultaneous reading of flash and ambient light is analyzed. The readings are displayed in three different ways on the LCD:
1. Combined readings of flash and ambient
2. Percentage of flash in the total exposure
3. Simultaneous display of flash, ambient and combined readings on the analog display

Retractable Lumisphere - A built-in adjustable incident dome (Lumisphere) provides full measuring in the standard position or when retracted, provides cosine corrected light readings for individual light source measurements or flat artwork.

Memory Mode - 9 memory banks are available in both Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority Modes, making contrast evaluation and a




Rating: - My first handheld meter-works great.
I bought this meter because I bought a manual focus lens for my Nikon D50. This camera body does not meter with the old manual lenses. After a week of using it, I can say it performs well. It offers incident and reflected measurements. However, to switch from incident to reflected, you have to take off the lumisphere and mount the lumigrid. It offers shutter and aperture priority modes. I prefer aperture priority-choose an aperture, and the meter selects a shutter speed. You can choose 2 ISO settings. ... Read More

Rating: - Great first light meter
This has been a very good light meter with great results. It is very simple to use. The construction is all plastic but does not feel cheap. When I saw Carlos Baez using the same meter at a seminar it was very reassuring. If it's good enough for one of the best fashion photogs in the world it's good enough for me.

Rating: - Worthless
my experience with this produce is that i can't trust it. it's almost always a stop or more off. if it says F8, i shoot at F7.1. in outdoor settings, using studio strobes, it's been a complete joke. no where near close to accurate readings for the strobe. which is why this review is titled "worthless". a waste of money...for me anyway. if you use with Canon speedlights, especially more than one, it's worthless as well as it will read the pre-flash not the actual flash readings.

Rating: - Light Meter
Excellent meter. Should be for a professional photographer and not recommended for the person that is not a dedicated 24/7 shooter

Rating: - Sekonic L-358 Light Meter
I use this meter in digital photography to get a better light reading. I use the Canon 40d and Olympus E-1 both camera has a real good light meter.
The Sekonic L-358 gives me the correct reading. Easy to use and with a small lerning curve. I don't know how I lived without it. When I take light reading in a dim area then I know if need the tripod or just change the ISO setting to a higher setting. Read the manual and start shooting better pictures
