- Smallest digital flash-meter for reflective and incident light readings in ambient or electronic flash lighting conditions.
- Exposures accurate down to a tenth-of-a-stop for both ambient and electronic flash light readings in full-stop mode..
- At ISO 100, the ambient EV range is 0 to 19.9, flash f/stops range from f/1.4 to f/90.9.
- Pocket-sized, and easy to stow away. The L-308S measures 2.5"W x 4.3"H x 0.9"D (63mmW x 110mmH x 22mmD).
- Includes Lumidisc with pouch, soft case, strap, synchro terminal cap, AA battery..
"The pocket-sized Sekonic L-308S Flashmate is the smallest and
lightest digital light meter in the Sekonic line-up. It is
designed to read ambient or flash exposures in either reflected
or incident modes, and it displays accurate exposure readings in
full, half, or third-stop increments to mirror the exposure
settings of today's DSLR and film cameras.
The L-308S delivers accurate exposure readings in full-, half-,
or third-stop increments to mirror the exposure displays of most
popular cameras. When set to full-stop mode, exposures are
displayed in tenth-stop increments with a repeat accuracy of +/-
0.1 EV.
The LCD screen is designed to emulate the look and feel of its
bigger brother, the Sekonic L-358 flash meter. Exposure data and
related information are displayed using large type and
easy-to-read icons, perfectly legible in even low-level lighting
conditions.
Incident or reflected light measurement - Reflected light
readings are captured at a receiving angle of about 40 degrees
for subject readings made at the camera. Slide the L-308S's
built-in Lumisphere over the silicon photo diode for incident
light exposure readings of three-dimensional subjects. Snap on
the included Lumidisc over the sensor for metering flat artwork
or measuring contrast and/or exposure ratios within a scene.
Ambient / Flash measurement - Incident or reflected ambient
light readings can be made with the L-308S over a wide range of
lighting conditions at shutter speeds from 60 seconds to 1/8000th
of a second and apertures from f/stops of f/1.4 to f/90.9. Flash
at speeds from 1 to 1/500th of a second can be measured
cordlessly or wired using a separate accessory PC cord. Flash and
ambient readings are automatically calculated to display the
proper exposure for the combination.
Accurate measurements - Exposures accurate down to a
tenth-of-a-stop for both ambient and electronic flash light
readings are available in full-stop mode. The L-308S can also
display shutter speeds and apertures in half or third-stop
increments to mirror the exposure settings on your camera with a
repeat accuracy of +/- 0.1 EV. For cinema applications frame
rates can be set from 8 to 128 frames per second. ISO sensitivity
can be set from 3 to 8000 in third-stop increments.
Compact size and lightweight - The L-308S is the smallest
digital flash meter for reflective and incident light readings in
ambient or electronic flash lighting conditions. It is compact
and light enough to fit into a shirt pocket, yet versatile enough
to meet virtually every photographic demand. The L-308S is
powered by a single AA battery and weighs only 3.4 ounces (95g).
Its measurements are a compact 2.5""W x 4.3""H x 0.9""D (63mmW x
110mmH x 22mmD).
Accessories - The Sekonic L-308S FlashMate comes with a Lumidisc
(with pouch), soft case, strap, synchro terminal cap and an AA
battery. It has a full, 1-year warranty, extendable at no charge
to 3 years total (in the USA only) after registration, and is
backed by our outstanding customer support team.
