Description: Pocket-sized Digital Meter for Incident and Reflected Flash and Ambient Light Readings.
The pocket-sized Sekonic L-308S FLASHMATE is the smallest and lightest digital light
meter in the Sekonic line-up. Designed to read ambient or flash exposures in either reflected
or incident modes, the L-308S delivers accurate exposure readings in full, half, or third-stop
increments to mirror the exposure displays of most popular cameras. When set to full-stop
mode, exposures are displayed in tenth-stop increments with a repeat accuracy of +/- 0.1
EV.
Reflected readings capture at a light receiving angle of about 40-degrees, or slightly wider
than the viewing field of a normal lens. For incident readings, a small, built-in Lumisphere
slides over the silicon diode sensor. For flat-field incident readings, a Lumidisc (included)
snaps over the sensor for metering flat artwork or measuring contrast and/or exposure ratios
within a scene. Electronic flash exposures can be taken with or without a PC cord.
Exposure data is displayed on the LCD screen, which has been redesigned to emulate the
look and feel of the LCD on the æbigger-brother' Sekonic L-358 flash meter. Exposure data
and related information is displayed using large type and easy-to-read icons. At ISO 100
ambient light can be read over an EV range of 0 to 19.9 in both incident and reflected mode.
Flash exposures are displayed from f/1.4 to f/90.9 (or about f/124). ISO sensitivity is set
from 3 to 8000 in third-stop increments. For cinema applications, the L-308S can be
programmed to display exposure times from 8 to 128 frames-per-second.
The Sekonic L-308S FLASHMATE comes with a Lumidisc (with pouch), a soft case, strap,
synchro terminal cap and a AA battery .
Items Includes: - Lumidisc with pouch
- soft case
- strap
- synchro terminal cap
- AA battery
Features:
- Smallest digital flash-meter for reflective and incident light readings in ambient or
electronic flash lighting conditions
- 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 with a
repeat accuracy of +/- 0.1 EV
- At ISO 100, the ambient EV range is 0 to 19.9, flash f/stops range from f/1.4 to f/90.9
with a shutter-speed span of 60-seconds to 1/8000th-of-a-second (1 sec to 1/500th
for flash). For cinema applications frame rates can be set from 8 to 128 frames-per-
second. ISO sensitivity can be set from 3 to 8000 in third-stop increments
- Pocket-sized, and easy to stow away. The L-308S measures 2.5"W x 4.3"H x 0.9"D
(63mmW x 110mmH x 22mmD), and weighs in at 3.4 ounces (95g).
- 1-Year Warranty, extendable at no charge to 3 years total (USA only) after
registration, backed by our outstanding customer support team.
