The pocket-sized Sekonic L-308S FLASHMATE is the smallest and lightest
digital light meter in the Sekonic line-up. Designed to read ambient or flash
exposures in either reflected or incident modes, the L-308S delivers accurate
exposure readings in full, half, or third-stop increments to mirror the exposure
displays of most popular cameras. When set to full-stop mode, exposures are
displayed in tenth-stop increments with a repeat accuracy of +/- 0.1 EV.
Reflected readings capture at a light receiving angle of about 40-degrees, or
slightly wider than the viewing field of a normal lens. For incident readings, a
small, built-in Lumisphere slides over the silicon diode sensor. For flat-field
incident readings, a Lumidisc (included) snaps over the sensor for metering flat
artwork or measuring contrast and/or exposure ratios within a scene. Electronic
flash exposures can be taken with or without a PC cord.
Exposure data is displayed on the LCD screen, which has been redesigned to
emulate the look and feel of the LCD on the ‘bigger-brother' Sekonic L-358 flash
meter. Exposure data and related information is displayed using large type and
easy-to-read icons. At ISO 100 ambient light can be read over an EV range of 0
to 19.9 in both incident and reflected mode. Flash exposures are displayed from
f/1.4 to f/90.9 (or about f/124). ISO sensitivity is set from 3 to 8000 in
third-stop increments. For cinema applications, the L-308S can be programmed to
display exposure times from 8 to 128 frames-per-second.
The Sekonic L-308S FLASHMATE comes with a Lumidisc (with pouch), a soft case,
strap, synchro terminal cap and a AA battery .
