Sekonic L-478D LiteMaster Pro Light Meter, Black

A tool to get it right from the start. It is digital with a touchscreen, works smoothly. I get the incident lightexposure which does notreact to colors, blacks and whites, so it gives the perfect exposure all the time. Simple to customise, and navigate through thefunctions. The only con is the prise, whith the optional viewfinder very useful for distant objekts that generate light, it becomesvery expensive.

Great item

The kit arrived and was well boxed and packaged. Was a little surprised that the two AAA batteries required for a £300 device were 'optional extras' to be acquired separately. DTS software is basic to say the least but works well. Annoyingly, the required USB cable to connect the metre to the computer is not supplied either and has to be bought separately. I used the meter 'out of the box' to measure ambient light in several scenarios as a quick test and the exposures provided were pretty much spot on. Calibration would have likely made it perfect for my 1DX MKii but without the damn cable I can only guess. The touch screen worked well but the adding of the provided anti glare film detracted from the touch experience and required a good amount of finger jabbing rather than just sliding the finger up and down.All in all I am pleased with the device which does what I want. Let down by lack of necessary components which I found frustrating.

I have only used it a couple of times. I have only used with speed lights so far. and found it very easy to use.

Has helped a lot with getting pictures correctly exposed etc.

Excellent
