Sekonic L-358 vs L-758DR

[Calzor Suzay]

Is there much real world difference between the L-358(with PW add on) vs L-758DR?

Looking at the Sekonic website it's naff all apart from reflective reading bits, spot metering with the viewer, camera calibration but the price difference is a lot.

There's not a huge difference in price if you add on the cost of the spot attachment for the L358 (the 758 already has one).

Edit: i.e. add around £165 for the NP1 Finder http://www.warehouseexpress.com/buy-sekonic-np-finder-1-degree-for-l-358-lightmeter/p1008037

So there's not much difference in functionality just the visual spot meter and PW trigger which you pay for.

Probably not although I find the 758's camera profiling can be very useful - the 358 doesn't have this facility.

If you can do without the radio trigger you could get the L758D version (no R) which is roughly the same price as a 358 with spot attachment. The radio module can be added later anyway.
