so far so good. Unfortunately, the L-308S brings an ugly and incomprehensible operation property with them. In normal exposure (without flash) can specify only the exposure time, but not the iris! Since such a light meter but mainly used in portrait photography and is exclusively set the aperture when shooting outdoors usually (bokeh, depth), while the exposure time is irrelevant, I feel that as a real shortcoming. Especially since it is completely incomprehensible, since (at preset ISO) of the knife has only one task to determine inversely to the exposure time or the appropriate aperture. That is, it has the values-so, but has only one of the two paths to. At least there is a workaround: you give some exposure time ago, then measures, receives the appropriate aperture and then to the rocker while the speed / Aperture-wagons go (Shift) until the desired aperture and the associated exposure time appears. Simple but is different and there is many portrait shooters go powerfully on the nerves.
Conclusion: great device at a great price. However, the impression remains bland, here you have an essential function consciously intentionally left in operation to the customer difficult to make life ... I do not know the expensive Sekonics, but it would wager that there can be set the aperture: - ) Thus, my final rating 3.5 stars and I give because of the terrific price / performance ratio but then just barely. 4
