[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I recently purchased a Sekonic 308B. What a great combination with my M3, especially when traveling light. The meter is shirtpocket size. The incident dome slides easily into place however there is no spot metering capability. I consider it a "street" meter. The controls allow very convenient one hand control. I have no reason to question the accuracy. The sensitivity is way beyond the capabilities of my L328 which could no longer support my increased indoor available light work (which is why I went electronic/ditigal). I gave up the spot capabilities of it's bigger kin because I wanted a compact meter to use when traveling. Regards, Roger Kotsinadelis, Peter (Peter) wrote: > > Why not consider a Sekonic L-328?
