Sekonic L-308X FlashMate Light Meter

A legacy of precision in a pocket-sized form, the Sekonic Flashmate L-308X is a versatile light meter designed for both ambient and flash metering, as well as video production with dedicated Cine and HD Cine modes. It features a sliding lumisphere for measuring both incident and reflected light through a lens with a forty degree angle of view. The meter covers a broad range, from EV zero to nineteen point nine at ISO one hundred, and for flash exposure, from f one point zero to f ninety point nine at ISO one hundred. Built for reliability, it also delivers consistent repeat accuracy that professionals can depend on.

Adapted to the needs of today's photographers and filmmakers who move quickly between projects, the L-308X includes three metering modes.

Photo mode provides complete exposure control whether on location or in a studio setting. The screen displays both flash and ambient readings, as well as ambient EV values. Alongside shutter priority, the newly added aperture priority mode allows photographers to make quick decisions when depth of field is a key concern.

HD Cine mode is ideal for cinematographers needing a portable solution for location scouting or fast measurements on set. It supports a variety of frame rates and shutter angles and delivers precise readings down to one tenth of a stop. The inclusion of ISO eight hundred fifty also enables accurate readings for the native settings of many modern cinema cameras.

Cine mode is built for professional digital filmmaking, offering a wide choice of frame rates and shutter angles for precise exposure control with one tenth stop accuracy. The meter also provides readouts in lux and foot-candles, making lighting setups fast and efficient. With its compact size and ease of use, the L-308X is a practical tool for creators in any setting.
