I have the L-358, and it seems to work fine though I have one quibble. When I use flash outside, it sometimes can't see the flash as, I assume, it's overpowered by sunlight. At least, I think that's what's going on. Is this normal for a flash meter? Are other meters better at this? I'd hate to give it up because the Pocketwizard capability is a great benefit, but if there was a flashmeter that did a better job measuring fill flash in daylight I might go for it. tv
