Sekonic L-558CINE DUALMASTER
The Sekonic L-558CINE DUALMASTER is the most advanced handheld
light-measuring instrument available in the motion picture and video industry
today. It meets and excedes the demands of Professional Cinematographers as well
as Professional Still Photographers. It is the first to offer a 1° parallax-free
spot viewfinder with a digital display. A built-in retractable incident
Lumisphere for standard or cosine corrected light readings, provides both
hemispherical and narrow angle readings. The L-558CINE DUALMASTER will handle
any lighting situation. It offers foot-candle, lux, foot-lambert and cd/m2
measuring modes plus cine shutter speeds from 1 to 1000 fps and shutter angle
settings from 1° to 270°.
FEATURES:
- Spot with Digital Display
The L-558CINE DUALMASTER
features a rectangular 1° parallax-free spot viewfinder. In dim or bright
light situations, the L-558CINE DUALMASTER's spot viewfinder displays shutter
speeds, aperture and more. The built-in spot meter measures both reflected
ambient, flash or combined lighting. The optical finder also features an
eyepiece with an adjustable diopter.
- Shutter Angle
Settings are available from 1° to 270°
plus 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 6°, 7°, 8°, 9°, 12°, 17°, 22°, 144° and 172°

180,000 Lux 0.63 to 190,000 Cd/m2 0.25 to 190,000 Foot-lambert 0.07
to 190,000 EV (Incident) EV -2 to EV 22.9 EV (Reflected) EV 1 to EV 24.4
(with 1° spot viewfinder)
- Filter Compensation Settings
Selectable on ISO 2: 85,
N3, N6, N9, A3, A6, A9 or +/- 5.0EV in 1/10 step increments
- Optional Plug-in Radio Transmitter Module
Electronic
flash units and/or cameras can be triggered wirelessly with the optional
plug-in digital radio Transmitter module (compatible with all PocketWizard
Digital Radios).Simultaneous triggering and measuring of flash units up to 100
feet away is possible. With its new easy-to-use Selective Quad-Triggering
control (4 zone lighting control), the L-558CINE DUALMASTER offers quick
selection of which flash unit to trigger and measure independently with a
touch of a key. Now you can individually measure several flash units
wirelessly by the touch of the meter's measuring button, without walking over
to each light and turning it on or off.
- Memory Mode
Up to nine readings can be memorized in
incident or spot metering modes independently in both Aperture and Shutter
Priority Modes.
- Full, 1/2 or 1/3-step Selectable Readings
Both shutter
speeds and apertures can be displayed in either full, 1/2 or 1/3-step
increments plus 1/10 stop units to match your film or digital camera;
selecting these increments is quick and easy with custom software menu
settings.

Independent
incident and reflected exposure compensation of up to +/-9.9 EV
Calibration compensation of +/-1.0 EV
- Dual ISO Settings
The L-558CINE DUALMASTER offers the
flexibility of taking a single measurement and displaying the f-stop and
shutter speed for two different ISO film speeds.
