Sekonic L-308X-U Flashmate Light Meter
Pocket-sized and exceptionally accurate, the L-308S-U Flashmate Light Meter from Sekonic is a compact tool for metering both ambient and flash lighting. Equipped with a sliding lumisphere, as well as a lumidisc attachment for flat surfaces, the L-308S is able to measure ambient light as well as reflected light via a lens with a 40° reception angle. This meter also has a wide metering range, from 0 to 19.9 EV at ISO 100, and can work with flash light within a range of f/1.4 to f/90.9 at ISO 100. Video and film shooters can rejoice as well, with the inclusion of multiple frame rates from 8-128 fps and a 180° shutter angle.
Repeat accuracy is important with metering, and the L-308S delivers with a rating of <0.1 EV on repeat exposures. It also has a LCD screen for easy viewing of settings and has both a PC sync terminal and a cordless flash option. Additionally, it runs on one AA battery.

Sekonic L308X-U Overview
Exceptionally portable and versatile in its design, the L-308X-U Flashmate Light Meter from Sekonic is a versatile meter that blends both photo and video-oriented functions into a single unit. Equipped with a sliding lumisphere, the L-308X is capable of measuring incident or reflected light via a lens with a 40° reception angle. It offers a wide metering range from 0 to 19.9 EV at ISO 100, working with exposure times as low as 1/8000 all the way up to 60 seconds; it also has an equally broad flash range from f/1.0 to f/90.9 at ISO 100.
The L-308X offers three specialized metering modes: a Photo mode for still shooting with aperture and shutter priority, a Cine mode for selecting frame rates between 8-128 fps with one-tenth of a stop accuracy, and an HD Cine mode for those shooting video with DSLR or mirrorless cameras. All these settings can be easily viewed on the backlit LCD display, which can be customized to your liking and automatically lights up when working at 5 EV or darker. Other features include a PC sync terminal and a cordless flash measuring option. The L-308X-U weighs approximately 3.5 oz and runs on a single AA battery.
