[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 153212, member: 8705"] I recently went through the process of selecting a meter and radio triggers. I'm lucky as my friend is a rep so I played with all of the Sekonics and Pocket Wizard triggers before choosing. He would loan them for weeks on end which was great. I ended up narrowing it down to the Sekonic 478DR and 758. The 758 had a spot meter which I liked but the unit was bulky. I ended up getting the 478DR as it's smaller and in addition to firing the flash (SB900 in my case) mounted to a Pocket Wizard Flex it can also set the power output via the touch screen display. I found that sync cables are a pain and sometimes I cannot physically reach my flash to trigger it. Having said all of the above I had a clear idea where I wanted to end up and why. The combination is expensive even when you get it at mates rates so you would need to know it's going to give a good return. On that basis and as stated previously I would go for a 308 if I was just testing the water. If you need to upgrade in the future you will get most of the cost back if you sell it. [/QUOTE]
