[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 299214, member: 8705"] What do you intend to use it for? When I got one I thought I would try and use it for landscape as well as studio flash use. I borrowed a Sekonic 758 with spot meter but found I was able to achieve much the same with the camera meter. Also modern sensors have so much latitude the you can normally adjust in post if you are off a bit. Purists will no doubt think I should be shot for saying that. Based on the above I bought a Sekonic 758DR which is great for studio as it triggers my pocket wizard wireless triggers. In truth I may have been able to get away with a Sekonic 308 and manually trigger the flash but I got the 478 for a good price. So in summary I would say to get an entry level unit and see what you use it before before buying a top end unit, unless you already have some specific functionality that you've identified. If you bought a 308 you would get most of your money back if you upgrade in the future.
