@@RM.TokyoPhotographer Damn.. no bueno. I've just ordered a used L-308s - it says it's in good condition and was cheap so.. I'll give it a go, hopefully will be of use until Godox release a game changer. I have a feeling they will.. Good luck with your X!
Hope it helped :) I was like in the same place...why did Sekonic release something similar but it's completely an upgrade since the glow in the dark LCD screen is super helpful for product photographers like me who shoots in complete darkness and if your a film video shooter the additional information given is helpful :)
Thank yoou for the great review! Do you know how dark it can be for the light meter still working correctly? I mostly shoot indoors under tungsten light and night photography,
If your shooting in a pitch black studio with tungsten lamp if u are far away the LCD glows well if you approach visable light source the LCD doesn't glow I can't say what the difference is in terms of that the light output has to be for the LCD to glow but night photography in most cases it actually glows in the dark. Unless I'm under a lampost it still glows so you won't have any problems with the 308x
Thanks for your video, it has been so usefull; i'm looking for one complete hand exposimeter because i use older one with needle (so vintage but usefull too😅) thanks
Im working on video on a specific digital light meter can't say much however it's a game changer from what I can see...but I actually have the needle version sekonic light meter my grandfather used and the old vintage ones don't run on batteries can't believe its still working :)
@@RM.TokyoPhotographer when i study photography , on the studio we use gossen and sekonic like yours on the video; but when you begine are so expensive and the old school material is the good way to evol and know , step by step 😜🙂
Hi Ryo-san, Here in Sydney, Australia, the product is the L308X-U. Would you know if this is essentially the same as the L308X you reviewed? Thanks, Barrie
Nice video - many thanks. I have one question - I have a Sekonic L-08S which I have been using for almost a year without any problems. However, it now seems to have stopped working. When using it in the cordless flash mode, the reading remains at F0 when my flash fires (even close up). It continues to work for ambient reading. Any idea how I can fix this problem?
thanks for reaching out just clarification is it a L-308s? *mispelled? if it is the L-308s make sure thats in flash mode *flash icon is blinking until the flash itself fires...if its still blinking the flash might not be hitting the light meter correctly or the spot meter is blocked by the incident half round white oval blocking the sensor from reading *it has to be on the right side ...thats my only answer that I can tell... if it doesnt apply then the unit might be faulty? I cant say much but hope it helps.
