I have been shooting pictures for a very long time. I always wanted a light meter. I belong to a photography meetup group. One of the members had a Older sekonic light meter. He and I talked a great deal about using a light meter. He showed me how to use it. I did! I was amazed at how easy it made my shoot go for the day. When I arrived at home, I started my research. The Sekonic 478D-U was the best option for me. It makes my shooting workflow very easy. The touch screen interface is very intuitive. The menus are vast and many. However, getting it up and running was very easy. I will never shoot without it! Now, I can concentrate on composition more than ISO, Aperture and shutter speed. It was worth the investment.

I really love my light reader. It helps really perfect my shots. At times, I feel it is a little dark from looking at the settings, but have learned to use my eye and the tech of this product to really get good shots.

Do you need a lightmeter to take great photos? No. But this item does exactly what it say it will do.When in a rush, this item has saved me time with camera settings. No more guessing for the correct settings. It’s great for studio lights ratios and as well as correct exposure for the given studio light.I love it, and love the ease to use. The only thing I regret about this purchase is not buying this earlier…

The best light meter in the world for those of us who mix flash and ambient lighting. The best accessory for location portraiture I’ve ever owned.

Picked this up to use with my old Hasselblad 500 CM film camera and I got the spot meter attachment to go with it and it is fantastic I tried to use the app on my phone but messed up a lot of shots

Great little meter. I will get a better carry case for it as well as the spot meter option. I can not complain for the most part.
