Description:

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 æwalk 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 ætagged' 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 æfull', 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.

Features:
  • 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 100' 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

  • 1/4-inch tripod socket for mounting meter in subject area 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.
