[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 451259, member: 14443"] I have my sekonic L-718 that ive used over the years. I like sekonic. imo, a light meter is only useful for studio work where you can check lighting ratios. other than that I dont see a reason to use one because you can adjust exposure so quickly. I just came back from a wedding an hour ago. I used 3 flashes on the outside edge of the dance floor aiming in. I set them according to what I know will be good frome xperience. I shoot a few people who walk through the dance floor like a waiter for example to test it and then adjust in the camera and shoot again to verify. looks like a nice toy to have, but not so useful. I dont think youd get use of the $370 because I dont think there are many situations that need it. I also think its much slower than shooting, then adjusting in 1-2 shots. now if it could read color temperature as well then id say hell yea because reading color temp is way more useful imo.
