First Impressions
The Sekonic L-308X is small and light. It fits easily in my hand and camera bag, which is great for studio and outdoor shoots. It’s built well and easy to use.
Features
This light meter is versatile. It can measure three types of light: regular light, flash, and movie light. It’s easy to switch between these modes. The screen is big and clear, showing important info like ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. It can measure light falling on a subject or light bouncing off it.
How It Works
The L-308X works really well. It gives accurate light readings, which helps me get the right exposure in tricky lighting. It’s good for natural light, studio lights, and constant lights.
Flash Measuring
It’s great at measuring flash. This helps me balance flash with other light, which is important for portrait and fashion photos.
Movie Mode
For people making videos, there’s a special movie mode. It helps get the right exposure for different frame rates, which is important for consistent video lighting.
Battery and Use
The battery lasts a long time. It uses one AA battery and turns off by itself to save power.
Some Small Problems
The meter is made of plastic, which feels less fancy than some more expensive models. Also, the screen doesn’t light up, so it can be hard to read in dark places.
Overall Thoughts
I really like the Sekonic L-308X light meter. It’s small, easy to use, and gives accurate readings. It helps me get the right exposure in different lighting situations. Even though it has a few small issues, it’s worth the money for photographers and videographers who want better control over their lighting.
