This is the most complete and up-to-date listing of all Sekonic
meter models, both current and discontinued. The chart includes
the Model Number, Name, Replacement Battery (either standard
or special non-mercury), First Manufacture Release Date (From)
and Last Production Date (To). Note: Unlisted meters do not
require a battery.
Some older Sekonic meters require a mercury battery, which is
illegal to manufacture or sell in the United States. However,
alternate versions and adapters are available:
