Low Price Sekonic L-208

Sekonic L-208 Twinmaster Compact Incident / Reflected Light Meter Review

I bought this for my 20-year old daughter for here college photography class. She had been using a borrowed digit light meter and I was worried she would have problems adjusting to dials and needles. I purchased the Sekonic l-208 as it was half the price of a digital meter. She tried the two meters side by side and they reported the same results, at which I breathed a sigh of relief.

No major pros or cons to report right now. The optional bracket to attach the device to the camera hotshoe is a nice feature. The L-208 is all plastic, which was a bit of a surprise, but probably should not have been. I think I was harking back to the old kind of meter that was all metal. The L-208 takes a replaceable mercury battery.

Sekonic L-208 Twinmaster Compact Incident / Reflected Light Meter Overview

The Sekonic L-208 compact incident/reflected light meter is small and stylish. It is ideal for the beginning or advanced amateur photographer and is perfect as a backup meter.The Sekonic L-208 is the smallest light meter to combine incident and reflected light measurement, and has been carefully designed to provide simple, one-handed operation. The printed digits are large and have been color coded for easy recognition of all readings. The L-208 also features a convenient accessory mounting shoe to attach the meter to the accessory flash shoe of many cameras, making the meter accessible and handily positioned for metering most subjects from the camera position. Utilizing a lithium CR2032 battery, the Sekonic L-208 has increased operation time and fewer battery changes. Also featured on this meter is a battery check button to monitor battery voltage. A sharp 33°-angle measurement with guide in reflected mode provides decisive means for choosing values to measure in comparison to most economical meters with a wider reflective measuring angle. A “Hold and Read” function grabs and maintains the current reading for 15 seconds after release of the measurement button, making more time for evaluation of the scene.

Easy to use analogue light meter. – E. Lam – Vancouver, BC Canada
Simple and easy to use analogue light meter. It’s not so great in low light, but under regular lighting conditions it’s bang on and easy to use. I like the old style dial read-out. I use it when I’m shooting with my old Rolleiflex 2.8 E. The meter is small and easily tucked away in a pocket. The neck cord is long enough for extending the light meter out with the arm while it is around your neck.

lightweight meter fits on camera – Paul Desroches – Chesterfield, VA
This little meter is very small, very light, and quite conveniently fits atop a camera on its shoe mount, and the mount on the meter can be relocated to move the meter into three different directions, or removed entirely. Comes with a neat little drawstring pouch. works well with vintage cameras without meters, or as an accessory meter for landscapes typically. Has incident and reflective reading capability built in. Press the button and an instant “lock” for 20 seconds ensues, enabling you to match the need with the movable one, then just read the settings and voila, you’ve got it done. Works accurately and well.

Best Buy Sony BLTHSB Shoulder Belt for most Sony Camcorders

Sony BLTHSB Shoulder Belt for most Sony Camcorders Review

I recently purchased a Sony HDR-CX7 memory stick HD camcorder. I was a bit surprised that it did not come with a neck strap. Although I’ve gotten used to digital cameras being so small that they no longer needed (and thus, did not come with) a neck strap, video cameras usually do have straps. The CX7 is a tiny camcorder and is probably not much larger than the 2000-era Sony digital camera I used to own (but that digicam had a neck strap). I’m not sure what it is about a camcorder versus a digital camera, but every time I used the CX7, I had a tendency to want to “drop” the camera when I was done and let it dangle around my neck on the non-existent strap. I guess I’ve just been used to doing that with previous camcorders I have owned (rather than slipping it back in to a case, like with these tiny camcorders).

Fortunately, Sony did make an optional strap for this camera. It’s a bit odd in that it clips on to a ring on the hand strap (which is what led me to believe there might be some kind of strap/lanyard for it in the first place). Still, it works well, and now I have a backup in case I ever do just “let go” of the camera. (And, I was hesitant to take the camera out while riding the cable cars at the local amusement park, or try to record on a roller coaster, due to not having such a strap.)

So, the strap is high quality and probably will last. The camera should have come with a strap like this, but since it doesn’t, this becomes a must-have accessory to purchase. And, if it keeps me from accidentally dropping and destroying my 0 camcorder, it’s money well spent.

I can’t believe I am reviewing a strap, but here it is.

Good for Sony Camcorders especially HDR SR11 – D. George – NY, USA
Good quality camcorder strap from Sony. This fits perfectly for my Sony camcorder HDR-SR11. I wish Sony included this along with the Camcorder. May be Sony trying to get more money from consumers. Thanks to Amozone for fast shipping.
