Where the Sekonic excels will be accurate low light readings!

I must admit I always know it was accurate because my RB67 pics came out well and my Kiev 60 also.
Well surprised though I think its within 1/3rd of a stop

Thats really also why I bought it for long exposures especially

The Sekonic can meter for flash as well, which is quite handy.

And accurate incident readings as well. In good light a well kept selenium meter will be fine, even my USSR-made Leningrad 7 could meter as accurately as a DSLR in good light.

 

[Mr Bump]

The sekonic is so easy to use as well, so pleased, and nice and light

eh?

You don't see the irony of the pic?

Looks just like a rather 'flared' photo of two exposure meters to me --

 

[Mr Bump]
