Daniel Meier Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Hey guys. I am looking into buying a new/used lightmeter for outdoor shooting (super8/16mm). I used to go with the Sekonic L-308 and I loved everything about it. But I lost two of them in the past. So I'm kind of over investing in another one of those. My question is: Is there a more affordable meter out there that has similar specs and features? I only need it to measure incident light. I don't need reflective metering. No flash metering, doesn't have to be digital either. Lux/FC reading would be nice to have but it is not a must. The Sekonic L398 caught my attention. But I am a little afraid of incorrect usage due to the hectic situations I will be using it in. I will mostly shoot documentary style outdoors. And I need to quickly measure and dial my f-stops to capture the moment. Have a nice day, ya'll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
