## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this as flimsy and inaccurate as some reviews say?**
A: No, the L-308 is a very accurate natural light and flash meter, easy to use once you understand the basic functions.  This is the main meter, that my college supplies our photo students. Now, the bad, it is not an Abrams's tank.  Keep it away from kids, pets, and in-laws, and don't tie to the bumper of your Ford F-150 you are good.  Any meter, is subject to damage from misuse, just hang it around your neck, you are good.

**Q: Does the L-308X-U have the ability to display the flash to ambient ration?**
A: No it does not. I believe the L-358, 558 and 608 will.

**Q: Will this work with Godox triggers for Sony, both ambient and flash?**
A: It an easy to use light meter that handles any type/source of light. It won't trigger strobes. Rather, it reads the level of light available when you trigger the strobe(s).  When I use it with strobes, I set the ISO & shutter speed to what I'm looking for, trigger the strobes w/ my wireless  flash trigger and see what the aperture should be. Then I adjust the power levels on the strobes ant test again.

**Q: What  is the temperature operating range**
A: 0 to 40 degrees C.

Buena construcción, es ligero y duradero, Sekonic es un referente en la industria, por lo que desde sus modelos de entrada te encontraras con su gran calidad; contiene una funda que se siente bien hecha, de imitación de cuero que se puede fijar al cinturón y un cordón para tenerlo fijado ya sea al cuello o a la muñeca, requiere una batería AA que NO se incluye, tampoco se incluye la funda original de silicon azul que se puede apreciar en la foto de fondo negro que adjunto, pero te recomiendo que la adquieras para mayor protección. Es fácil de operar con ayuda del manual o un par de videos en internet, en sentido sencillo, sirve para medir la luz reflejada y la incidente, la función más utili es esta ultima, la de medir la luz incidente; puedes usarlo tanto con luz constante (artificial y natural) o luz de estrobo (Flash), tú le das 2 de los 3 parámetros del triángulo de la exposición y este pequeño aparato te calcula el tercero, yo lo uso principalmente con luz de estudio, para controlar la potencia de mis luces, le doy el ISO, la velocidad de obturación y el fotómetro me calcula la apertura (los pasos o F-stop), de esta forma, y teniendo yo en mente a que apertura quiero disparar, puedo tomar mediciones y ver si estoy sub expuesto o sobre expuesto y ajusto los pasos necesarios en la potencia de la luz para llegar a la apertura que pretendo, como consejo te sugiero que cambies la configuración para que te mida los pasos o “F-stops” en tercios, si lo vas a usar para fotografía. Lo anteriormente descrito, por supuesto que no es para lo único que sirve (Aunque si el uso principal que yo le doy), también es útil para cámaras de video digitales (DSLRs y Mirorless) y de cine. Es una herramienta indispensable para quien quiera profesionalizar su flujo de trabajo en la producción fotográfica y de video.
