Jeff Hayford Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Does anyone know where to rent a Sekonic 700 Dualmaster light meter in or around Boston, MA? Boston Camera doesn't have the digital ones, but suggested a photography house in town. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty rare 'round these parts to find a place to "rent" a light meter. Are you serious enough about it to buy one for yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you serious enough about it to buy one for yourself? I am eventually but last I checked they were in the 2-300 range and I just need something quick for this weekend shoot I'm doing. I'm gaffing this film and they are using color reversal and cross processing and I want my readings to be fairly accurate because the DP wants to underexpose a lot of stuff for high contrast. Do you know anyone I might be able to ask that could point me in the right direction, a photo house etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff, there's a place in South Boston within the Boston Design Center, a big complex on Summer Street just down from the Boston Convention Center. E Philip Levine Incorporated - (617) 951-1499 - 23 Drydock Ave Fl 2, Boston They sell reburbished meters and lots of serious people go there. I bought a three temperature Minolta color meter for $500.00 that worked great and it retailed above a $1000.00. They may be able to help you out.

I called EP, they do have some amazing prices on stuff although their rental catalog is a bit slim. I was able to score a Sekonic L-558 at Calumet in Cambridge for $25 a day (weekend = 1 day) they require a $500 credit card deposit but I think that will work for now. Course now that I said that everyone is going to want to rent it from there. They only have 1 Sekonic digital light meter for rental but they take reservations months in advance. I'm going to keep searching for a 758 or at the very least something for this coming weekend. Thanks for your help, let me know if you stumble on anything.
