Review: I Love This Meter! - I have been a hobby photographer for a long time. I dabbled in landscapes, bird, and nature photography. Sometimes I would get nice photos and most of the time I was like, what am I doing wrong? I work at a school so occasionally I would shoot games or practice just to practice and expand what I normally photograph.. I was then asked to photograph the senior class group photo. I never liked the photos but they seemed to be happy with them. This year I was asked to shoot all sports, indoors and out. I have never shot indoors with any light set ups before. I am practicing like crazy and I am not at all happy with any of my work. I then decided to by the SeKonic L-308X-U flash mate Light Meter as my final piece of equipment. Game Changer! Why have I never used a light meter before this? I was intimidated by them. I learned this very fast because I mainly shoot in manual mode so I am familiar with the exposure triangle. Now I am blown away and I am so excited to get out there and create. For me it was easy to use and figure out. Accurate because I have way better exposures that I have ever have before. Expensive yes, but worth it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this as flimsy and inaccurate as some reviews say?**
A: No, the L-308 is a very accurate natural light and flash meter, easy to use once you understand the basic functions.  This is the main meter, that my college supplies our photo students. Now, the bad, it is not an Abrams's tank.  Keep it away from kids, pets, and in-laws, and don't tie to the bumper of your Ford F-150 you are good.  Any meter, is subject to damage from misuse, just hang it around your neck, you are good.

**Q: Does the L-308X-U have the ability to display the flash to ambient ration?**
A: No it does not. I believe the L-358, 558 and 608 will.

**Q: Will this work with Godox triggers for Sony, both ambient and flash?**
A: It an easy to use light meter that handles any type/source of light. It won't trigger strobes. Rather, it reads the level of light available when you trigger the strobe(s).  When I use it with strobes, I set the ISO & shutter speed to what I'm looking for, trigger the strobes w/ my wireless  flash trigger and see what the aperture should be. Then I adjust the power levels on the strobes ant test again.

**Q: What  is the temperature operating range**
A: 0 to 40 degrees C.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for my job
*by T***A on November 26, 2024*

I am a photographer for a local studio, and I wanted to get something similar to what they were using for metering. This meter seems to be very accurate and easy to use. Price is a bit steep, but I figured it's a long term investment. Recommend if you're in the market for a quality light meter.
