SEKONIC L-398A Studio Delux III

The classicphoto meter tracing its roots to the famous Norwood Director, the SekonicL-398A has become a favorite with cinematographers the world over. A pureanalog experience, the meter needle and exposure dial system gives you allreading combinations at a single glance. And because it uses an amorphousphotocell that generates its own power, there is no need for a battery.

Incidentmeasurements can be taken with the over 180-degree Lumisphere for generalreadings of three-dimensional objects, or with the Lumidisc selective areareadings, measuring the lighting ratios between highlights and shadow areas orlight falling on flat-field objects such as artwork, measurements outdoors orunder bright studio lights. The Sekonic L-398A's swivel head allows you to holddown the metering button and "walk the set" to check light levels.Release the button, and the needle locks down the meter's analog display needlefor easy-to-read exposure calculations. Exposures are displayed for both stilland cine applications.

For reflectedreadings, a flat Lumigrid replaces the Lumisphere. If you plan on shooting witha fixed ISO and shutter speed, an optional Slide Set (Direct Reading Slides)makes it easier to take readings in fast-paced shooting scenarios. The SekonicL-398A Studio Deluxe III makes an ideal prime or back-up meter for still ormotion picture shooters.
