Since its introduction, Sekonic's L-358 Flash Master has become the best-selling
digital flash meter in its class. Weather-sealed against the nastiest of working
conditions, the L-358 delivers dead-nuts accurate flash and ambient light
reading in both incident and reflected modes.
For mixed lighting scenarios, the L-358 displays the combined exposure values of
both flash and ambient light sources, including the percentage of flash in total
exposure in 10-percent increments. Dual ISO buttons allow for quick exposure
factoring when working with two differing film speeds, film and Polaroids, or
other situations where comparison readings are desired.
The head of the L-358 swivels 270-degrees allowing you to "walk the set" while
maintaining constant visual contact with the LCD display. An indigo, backlit LCD
screen with large text and icons allows for easy referencing under all lighting
conditions.
Incident readings of three-dimensional subjects are taken using the Lumisphere,
which can be retracted for selective, narrower-field readings such as contrast
ratios for flash lighting. For reflective readings, simply replace the
Lumisphere with the Lumigrid (included), which reads the center 54-degrees of
the scene. For reflected spot metering, 1, 5, and 10-degree viewfinder spot
attachments are available as optional accessories. Up to nine exposure readings
can be stored and tagged on the LCD's analog scale. Electronic flash exposures
can be taken wirelessly or with a PC cord. Plug in the optional Sekonic RT-32
Radio Transmitter Module and you can wirelessly trigger any PocketWizard-enabled
flash system within a 100' range.
The Sekonic L-358 displays an f-stop range of f/1.0 to f/90.9, and a shutter
speed range of 30-minutes to 1/8000th-of-a-second (1/1000th in Flash mode), both
of which can be displayed in full, half, and third-stop intervals to mirror your
camera's exposure display. When set to "full", the exposure is displayed in
tenth-of-a-stop increments with repeat accuracy of +/- 0.1 EV.
For motion picture applications, the L-358 calculates cine readings from 2 to
360 frames-per-second. As with all Sekonic meters, the Sekonic L-358 Flash
Master includes a 3-year warranty and the best customer support you're ever
likely to find.
Sekonic L-358 FLASH MASTER
User-friendly, affordable meter with advanced features and Optional Wireless
Triggering triggering.
- Exposures accurate down to a tenth-of-a-stop for both ambient and electronic
flash light readings (in full-stop mode). Meter can also display shutter-speeds
and apertures in half or third-stop increments to mirror the exposure settings
on your camera
- Sekonic RT-32 Radio Transmitter Module installs easily, enabling wireless,
Selective Quad Triggering of PocketWizard-enabled electronic flash units up to
100ft away
- Swivel-mounted head (270-degrees) allows for uninterrupted visual contact with
LCD screen from any reading angle
- Incident readings of three-dimensional subjects are taken using the Lumisphere
fully extended, and retract the Lumisphere for selective, narrower-field
readings for flat-field objects such as artwork. For reflected readings, a
Lumigrid (included) replaces the Lumisphere.
- Dust-proof and splash-proof (JIS Standard Water Resistance Class 4).
Weather-sealed against dust storms, nor'easters, and the occasional rogue wave
- At ISO 100, the EV measurement range is -2 to 22.9. Aperture ranges from f/1 to
f/90.9 with a shutter-speed span of 60-seconds to 1/8000th-of-a-second (1-sec to
1/1000th for flash). For cinema applications frame-rates can be set from 2 to
360 frames-per-second. ISO range can be set from 3 to 8000 in third-stop
increments
- Up to 9 readings can be stored in memory for meter averaging and contrast
evaluations in Aperture and Shutter priority modes
- Includes Lumigrid (Reflected Light Attachment), Carry Case, Strap, synchro
terminal cap, CR123A lithium battery
- 1-Year Warranty, extendable at no charge to 3 years total (USA only) after
registration, backed by our outstanding customer support team
