Sekonic E100359 - L-398A Studio Deluxe llI

The classic photo meter tracing its roots to the famous Norwood Director, 

the Sekonic L-398A has become a favorite with cinematographers the world over. 

A pure analog experience, the meter needle and exposure dial system gives 

you all reading combinations at a single glance. And because it uses an amorphous 

photocell that generates its own power, there is no need for a battery. 



Incident measurements can be taken with the over 180-degree Lumisphere 

for general readings of three-dimensional objects, or with the Lumidisc selective 

area readings, measuring the lighting ratios between highlights and shadow areas 

or light falling on flat-field objects such as artwork, measurements outdoors or 

under bright studio lights. The Sekonic L-398A's swivel head allows you to hold 

down the metering button and "walk the set" to check light levels. Release the button, 

and the needle locks down the meter's analog display needle for easy-to-read 

exposure calculations. Exposures are displayed for both still and cine applications.
