Sekonic L-398A

Sekonic L-398A Studio Deluxe is an analog exposure meter for measuring incident light. This model is known for its accurate measurement and easy handling. The body of the exposure meter is sealed against bad weather. To maintain the possibility of constant data control, the upper part with the measuring sensor can be rotated around its axis by 270 °. It is possible to insert inserts with different light transmittances into the rotating head. A white hemisphere for measuring incident light is fitted in front of the measuring sensor as standard. When shooting planar originals with area lighting, it allows you to measure exposure values ​​with a planar Lumidisk. Other accessories of the Sekonic L-398A include the Lumigrid for measuring reflected light. The value of light can be measured by the method of incident and reflected light. In both cases, the exposure meter gives values ​​corresponding to approximately 18% of gray.

With the exposure meter, it is possible to measure most of the necessary values ​​that you will encounter in practice. In addition to the classic scales for deriving the aperture f / 0.7-f / 128, time in the range of 60 min-1/8000 sec., Number of frames per second from 8 to 128 frames, also exposure levels in the range of 4-17EV, exposure compensation and, of course, sensitivity settings from 6 to 12,000 ISO.
