A very concise explanation, I have watched this video a number of times , no stupid music, just facts and information. Thank you from Oz

Just bought this meter a few days ago (or maybe mine is a slightly updated version 308x) and instantly was overwhelmed with trying to figure it out. Found a few KZread videos but yours is by far the most straightforward and easy to understand. Thanks Graham.

I've watched a few videos on this meter and this is by far the best for telling me how to actually use it and why it will be useful - thank you!

I've had this light meter for a couple of years and never really understood how to use it. This video explained the most important features of the meter, clearly and simply. Now I can actually use this thing! :-)

Great job Graham explaining this very clearly and effectively. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Thank you for our simple yet detailed review. I have been looking at purchasing this light meter and this review has helped me in deciding to go ahead with it. Thank you 😊

Many thanks for the kind comments, appreciated.

Thanks for the video. I've seen quite a few video's of this lightmeter since I needed to buy one ... Best video of all! Very simple and clear explanation, while you left nothing out. Just bought one ;)

Cheers for showing me how to work my nice new light meter. You showed it simply and it is now simple for me to be able to control my exposures, thank you :)

Thanks so much for this video, I received this for a birthday gift one year ago and I could not figure it out. I really wanted it for flash and if I didn't have a compound fracture, non weight bearing I would jump up and down. So you helped at least one person with their meter. Yippee. Now I can't sleep I want to crawl up to my studio and get my meter. Thanks again.

Thank you David for the feedback on this video, really appreciated.

Very well presented. Thank you. This lightmeter still does a perfect job years on, and with digital cameras as well.

Excellent tutorial, just received mine today, and your review saved me a ton of time thank you very much for spending yours !!!

Excellent walkaround of the functionalities of this light meter. Thanks for taking the time for this review. Very helpful!

thanks Graham this video was very useful and very well explained. sekonic should pay you for this!

Thank You! I've been trying to figure out this meter for sooo long. You made it look so easy and now I understand it!

Sekonic should hire you. That was WAY better than anything they put out in terms of instructions. THANK YOU!

Thank you sir, I have had this meter for 2 years and have never used it, this is very helpful

Glad the video was of help in your purchasing choice. Thanks for the comment, appreciated.

You have found the ideal use for incident light meters. They are not influenced by subject brightness etc. As long as the light stays constant they exposure remains perfect. Thanks for your response to the video.

Thank you, you have totally convinced me. I have been researching for a light meter and this one is not to costly, thanks again. NYC.

thank you Graham, just got one for myelf, and it is a very handy tools. Great and simple explanation!

Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback on the video

I really like the way you explain- clear and concise. Hope you do more reviews! Thank you.

Thanks Dave for the comment, appreciate the feedback

Really helpful thanks... Just bought one and followed your video playing with the controls!

Great job. I really like how you explan the flash mode at the end. Very helpful.

Thanks for the comment, appreciated.

I just bought this light meter and was really confused, thank you for the simple and helpful explanation

Thank you that was a very useful and clearly expressed video. I was hesitating to buy one of these but now I think I will go ahead as you have made the controls clear to grasp.

Thank you, most people argue that a separate meter is un-necessary these days but i think it gives you much better control for your photography - it is another discipline to stop ryshing and taking lots of pictures and hoping one will be right

Glad it was of help, thanks for commenting.

I appreciate your review ... Far more wonderful to see and hear from an experienced (pro) teacher than reading with size 6 fonts. THANKS!!

Graham, thanks very much for this video. Really useful and well presented. Much appreciated.

many thanks for viewing and taking the time to comment, appreciated.

The best tutorial on sekonic L-308 thank you

This is the best of all the instruction videos thank you.

I think its time i get one of these. I have been shooting more E6 and it has shown me that my guess work isn't as good as i thought it was. Great video.

thanks for the comment, appreciated

Well, I learned so much in that short presentation! Thank you so much!

Cheers Graham. Best explanation on line.

Great Vid Grahem, thanks for taking the time to do this for us.

Glad the video helped, thanks for the comment.

@ghough12 thanks a lot! i've pulled the trigger on it! we're intensively busy at school with the metering in and out of the studio and learning how useful one of these can be. for this price range it's a very complete meter, cheers!

Thank you very much for this helpful tutorial, I'm having my practical test tomorrow regarding light meters :D

excellent tutorial, I understood easily. Thanks for taking the time to do this video

just bought the 308 x, really no difference, learnt a lot from this from this vid, thanks

@DeanSafe Thanks for watching, appreciate your comment

@Akileze Your absolutely right, there is no Aperture mode, you do have to scroll through the exposure srttings until you get the aperture value, shutter speed you require.

Thanks for the comment, I hope you get some good use of the meter now

Thank you for your clarity... God bless you...

Thank you, no music just to-the-point information

Thanks for a great and straightforward explanation.

Yes it has the tradition frames per second cine speeds so i believe it can be used for this purpose. I also think it can be used with dslrs using the 180 degree shutter rule

Excellent general review of this meter.

thanks a lot sir, your tutorial was lovely, easy and well explained

Fantastic explanation, the best!

Thanks, lots of good info told in a clear way.

Thank you for the very useful information. Looking forward to receiving my meter in the mail any day now.!.

Will this sekonic signal my godox cells-II trigger conected on my strobe flash?

Simple, to-the-point and well-explained. Thanking You.

thank you for the feedback, appreciated.

Thanks for viewing.

thanks for taking the time to feedback on the video.

Thanks Graham for a very informative video. I spent 30 mins trying to figure it out via the manual ... I should have spent the time watching your video instead! Thanks again.

nice edit Graham, going to get one of these!!!

Thanks, this has made it so simple to understand :)

@gcardinal thanks for viewing and commenting, appreciated

Many thanks for the feedback, really appreciated.

Fantastic tutorial great reference video for my flashmate many many thanks.

Very nice review. Clear, concise.

It might help to understand the incident light measurement. It is used to evaluate the light falling on the subject so you take the meter to the subject and point it back towards the camera. This gives you a meter reading which will expose mid gray correctly. You still would then apply coreection if your subject was brighter or darker than mid gray so you white subject would need less exposure by 1 stop or so. Reflected reading doesn't use the white omnisphere and can be used if you get close

@swimages yes in some situations it is a useful aid to us.

very nice and easy to follow guide on how to use. thanks.

Super helpful thank you Graham!

Thank you for such a clear explanation.

Hi, if your subject is backlit then doing an incident light reading, pointing the omnisphere to the camera, will give under exposure of the subject ( as it is likely to be influenced by the brighter foreground) - you do need to move close and take a reflected meter reading in this case. Incident light readings are usually more accurate when the ambient light is the same on the subject as the background. I would also bracket exposures by +- 0.3ev as well

Nice video. And helpful. The Sekonic L308S is in my opinion more than sufficient for daily work. I don't need at the a lightmeter which cost you hundreds of Euros.

Many thanks for such a great video it really has helped me

Great review and excellent tutorial. Thanks.

Thanks for the great feedback, appreciated.

great review and demonstration :)

@puma0065 Thank you very much, I appreciate the time taken to comment.

Thanks, just got my L 308 s out of the cupboard and dusted it off, this has saved me RTFM

Thank you for the tutorial Graham. I was just given this lightmeter and one thing is not clear to me is where do you place/point the meter when you measure cordless flash. I want to use this meter with my film camera - which doesn't have its own meter - and obviously I can test-trigger the flash from the flash itself and not with the shutter. The flash will be on the camera. So where do I point the meter? I guess in this case it must be reflective metering pointing at the subject from the camera's position. Just want to make sure.

great video, lots of info, thanks for posting

Very easy to understand. Thank you!

Very nice, thank you for explaining so well. Still I don't get on the flash part since it gives f values and the flash do not work by f numbers.

Very useful and educational, many thanks for posting.

Good video clear instructions thanks ;)

@zrsgamboa for ordinary photography yes the gray card is a good alternative, for flash that's a differnt matter - other by trial and error and looking at the viewfinder results. The grau card is also good for white balance setting.

thank you very much for this easy explanation!

hey im back... just to update. I settled for the L-358 version, so far i like it. Im going to be shooting out side in a couple of days...... thanks again.

Thank you! Very clear and easy to understand.
