Sekonic Digital Master L-758D Light Meter
« on: May 20, 2009, 04:22:26 am »

Forgive me for failing to use the search menu, but just about to run into a meeting at work, and I am wondering if the light meter, "Sekonic Digital Master L-758D Light Meter" would do all I need in order to get accurate expsoures with my RB67 and Landscape Photography?

My local Calumet has it in stock, and I leave for a week in the Isle of Mull on Friday, would be great to get an accurate digital meter before I leave.

Here is the link to the model on Calumet:

Another option is the Kenko KFM-2100...which has amazing reviews, £300.

Any advice appreciated.

Gary.

Of course & then some but it's overkill if you're shooting film. This model has a feature for matching it's sensitivity to the output of 3 of your digital cameras, they have less expensive models with same features minus the sensor matching.

Thanks DDK.

The Kenko KFM-2100 I can get for a lot cheaper, £300 next day delivered in fact.  Seems to have very good reviews too.  Any thoughts on this model?

You could always try picking up a L558 second hand. Ffordes usually have them in stock or alternatively ebay. I used it when I shot film and after calibration it always metered perfectly.

Don't know anything about the Kenko, the two top rated brands are Sekonic and Gossen.
