well, let's hope so because I'm not sure that a separate non-spot reflective
meter has much value when you already have such a meter, and probably a
better one, built in. It's why they are so plentiful and cheap.
I have a couple of the Sekonic L-408 MultiMaster meters I bought second
hand that I've found quite useful, especially in the studio for
balancing main/fill/background/hair lights.
I really should send one of them in to be repaired because the non-cable
flash mode has stopped working on it. I've procrastinated doing so
because I rarely use that mode, and the other one works.
It's been so long since I bought them I don't remember what I paid, but
I think it was around $100 for the first one, and by the time I bought
the second one the price was down around $75.
They do incident, flash with & without cable connection and have a 5 deg
spot meter. Good value for the money.
Just looked on e-Bay and there's one with no bids starting at $99 and
another miss-labeled as an L-480 with two bids currently at $26.
