The operation is purely designed for the left hand, which is depending on the Functioning of blessing or a curse. In contrast to the gutters, the operation is once more complicated, because the device must be switched on with a longer keypress before ever the measuring button works. The ISO-adjustment also requires some finger acrobatics and the four modes (time delay, EV, wireless, wired) can be switched in only one direction around the circle. The Gossen has a key less, yet is much easier to use.
About Aperture priority of Sekonik lacks unfortunately, which means corresponding additional expenditure in continuous light shots. Contrast range or flash / permanent light ratio he reveals a not, there's only arithmetic. In order to determine the contrast between two light sources should, however, better to choose a model with a retractable dome, because the enclosed plane diffuser is a cumbersome reinzufriemelndes small part here, which is not in the meter even in the pocket space anyway.
Very, very much like the Sekonik L-308 S that can be adjusted half and third stops. (The gutters can tenths of his making a completely insane, because one chooses z. B. diaphragm 4 and receives a measurement result for a time at f 4 9/10 therefore factually 5.6, not 4 as desired.) In EV mode then appear further tenths levels, so you still z. B. still may very well determine the light drop between two points. However, the benefit of which has its limits, because this is only for continuous light and flash modes EV mutually exclusive.
I must admit that I find it difficult to make a review of this product. On one hand, it meets the requirements of a super simple home light meter, provides reasonable readings and can still operate reasonably okay. On the other hand, so you get for the price of 180 euros a photodiode behind a lens, connected to LCD and electronics with the power of 70s calculator in a corresponding sleeve. One wonders why at least the solid construction, can not obstruct a clever display and soft-touch buttons such as in a 20-euro-Multimeter for the price or want. Or why the manufacturer decades manufactures such equipment and does not succeed in integrating the display an icon and the logic for the aperture priority.
One does not choose this device anyway, because it's so good and well thought out and it makes great fun to work with it, but because it is the bezahlbarste alternative. It complies with the minimum requirements, but no longer. Accordingly, the rating of three stars (not bad).
