Bob - After reading all of these replies, you're starting to get a lot of different ideas of how the meter can be used.
Before you spend a bunch of money on a meter, think about renting one from borrowlenses.com. <http://www.borrowlenses.com/category/Lightmeters> This page shows the two-week rental fee for a Sekonic 358 as $28. The cost of that meter is a little over $300 at B&H. You could try out a lot of ideas and see if they make any difference to you for a very little bit of money. That would be money well spent if you decided that you didn't want to make the purchase. If you did buy the meter, you could think of the rental fee as the cost of education. gs George Sinos -------------------- gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 4:01 PM, Bob W <p...@web-options.com> wrote: > The thread about exposure differences for film and digital set me browsing > the Sekonic site, where they now offer specifically digital light meters > <http://www.sekonic.com/Products/All/Overview.aspx>. > > Mine are both relics of the film days, including a L-308s and whatever was > the equivalent back then of the L-758 meters. > > I get a lot of use out of the L-308s and noting that they now do the L-308DC > I wonder if it's worthwhile to get one.
