Thread: My @#$% flash meter decides to quit.

    Re: My @#$% flash meter decides to quit.

    I have an L-358. It can only be set to an aperture of f1.0 to f90.0, though you can adjust exposure compensation 9.9 stops over or under. ISO settings go from 3 to 8000. So I don't know if that would fit into your needs, but it would meter strobes and strobe to ambient ratios. In the several years I have used this meter, it has been very reliable.

    Ciao!

    The Sekonic L-758 will read to f/161 at ISO 100 according to the specs - slightly brighter than the FCM-2.

    Have you thought about putting a piece of ND gel over or behind the receptor disc/dome so that you could use a meter like the 358?

    Best,

    That's what I'm doing at the moment with my Gossen MultiPro, I just need to remember to adjust the EI accordingly.
