Product Details of Sekonic L-208 Twin Mate - Analog Incident and Reflected Light Meter

Description

The printed digits are large and have been color coded for easy recognition of all readings. The L-208 also features a convenient accessory mounting shoe to attach the meter to the accessory flash shoe of many cameras, making the meter accessible and handily positioned for metering most subjects from the camera position. Utilizing a lithium CR2032 battery, the Sekonic L-208 has increased operation time and fewer battery changes. Also featured on this meter is a battery check button to monitor battery voltage. A sharp 33?-angle measurement with guide in reflected mode provides decisive means for choosing values to measure in comparison to most economical meters with a wider reflective measuring angle. A ?Hold and Read? function grabs and maintains the current reading for 15 seconds after release of the measurement button, making more time for evaluation of the scene.Included with the Sekonic L-208 are a strap, carrying case and battery.

Sekonic Twinmate L-208 Light Meter

Strengths: Small size, light weight, easy to use, very accurate, affordable

Weakness: None

The Sekonic Twinmate performs very well under bright and dim conditions in both reflected and incident modes. Its small size and light weight are a bonus and it is very easy to use.
