Any reason not to get a Sekonic 308s

[AndyBakerUK]

Last few shoots I've been involved with I've had access to a light meter which has made setting up the strobes/camera so much easier/quicker. Now made the decision to get myself one, so before i place my order for a Sekonic 308 can anyone think of any reason why not to or alternatives I should consider (e.g. the much cheaper non-branded units)?

Thanks
Andy

No. It's the most popular meter by far.

It does exactly what is say's on the tin. Very happy with mine

If L358 fits your budget? But otherwise none, it is a great little light meter and works great.

Well that's all the persuasion I needed, 308 ordered.

Like you said "easier/quicker" when you are setting up for a shoot the less time it takes the better for you and your model(s).
I have the sekonic L-308s and its a god send for setting up the flashes

Plus one for the 308, it's what I use.
