[christianhennermann]

and is there some other sekonic "cine" still around? on the sekonic homepage they only got the l-758 cine which is realy expensive...

what about the 608/618 or 558? ist there a cine version still available? i mean new?

AFAIK they were all replaced by the 758.

If you're a student or you know a student you can get a mad discount from Mac On Campus. . . I think around $400 for a new L758.

You can still get the 558 off Ebay if you want.

There are plenty of meters available that don't costan arm and a leg. My main meter (Minolta Autometer Vf) cost a hundred bucks and my backup (spectra classic) cost me 40.

I suggest to search for Kenko KFM-2100. in fact it is the minolta product sold, after sony took over, to another manufacturer, namely tokina. the product is the same. I own a minolta flash meter VI f, and I value it to be better then any sekonic I've used. my only disappointment is it's lack of waterproofing but I would still buy a new one as a backup.

and it's cheaper.

A good light meter is very important, more important is the man behind the light meter, be it a super simple model ( such as Spectra Candela Classic, never fails!!!) or a brand new Sekonic with features for cinematographers such as film compensation, etc. but is a great meter indeed anyways!!!
