Hi, I assume you mean the L-398M. http://www.sekonic.com/Products/L-398M.html
I have one of these. Yes, it can do reflected light. You need a 'Lumigrid', which replaces the Lumidome to do it. The meter cannot display the fullest brightness range on its scale, so when you're measuring bright light you have to insert the 'Hi slide'. This reduces the amount of light hitting the metering cell and you read off the measure against a different point on the scale. It's easier done than said. There is also a set of 'direct reading slides' as an optional accessory. Each of these has a different set of holes in which allow different amounts of light. Iirc you match them to your film speed and shutter speed and they turn the meter into a manual shutter priority device. Very clever. It's a good meter, still in the catalogue, but rather fiddly to use in the field (it's a *Studio* Deluxe), and accessories are easy to forget or lose. --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, May 29, 2002, 4:46:24 AM, you wrote: > This weekend I have ebayed myself this meter, so while it's in the > mail, just wanted to ask whoever has an opinion on it. > In the package there supposed to be a set of slides -- could someone > explain me what the heck is that?
