Exceptionally portable and versatile in its design, the L-308X-U Flashmate Light Meter from Sekonic is a versatile meter that blends both photo and video-oriented functions into a single unit. Equipped with a sliding lumisphere, the L-308X is capable of measuring incident or reflected light via a lens with a 40° reception angle. It offers a wide metering range from 0 to 19.9 EV at ISO 100, working with exposure times as low as 1/8000 all the way up to 60 seconds; it also has an equally broad flash range from f/1.0 to f/90.9 at ISO 100. 

The L-308X offers three specialized metering modes: a Photo mode for still shooting with aperture and shutter priority, a Cine mode for selecting frame rates between 8-128 fps with one-tenth of a stop accuracy, and an HD Cine mode for those shooting video with DSLR or mirrorless cameras. All these settings can be easily viewed on the backlit LCD display, which can be customized to your liking and automatically lights up when working at 5 EV or darker. Other features include a PC sync terminal and a cordless flash measuring option. The L-308X-U weighs approximately 3.5 oz and runs on a single AA battery.

The KEKS KM02 OLED Light Meter is an ultracompact, reflective light meter that attaches to your camera’s accessory shoe and provides reflective exposure readings. It features a 30° field of view, roughly equivalent to a 50mm lens. It keeps things simple with a straightforward user interface and a simple four-button layout. Useful features include aperture and shutter priority modes, two levels of information display, and even upside-down display for Rollei 35 users. This handy meter is almost tailor-made for vintage film cameras, blending seamlessly with the body and providing an essential tool for accurate exposures.

Highly-Accurate Sensor

The KM02 uses a VEML7700 ambient light, 16-bit, digital resolution sensor. The upgraded software ensures high accuracy, reliability, and combined with a 50mm lens view, a balance between average and selective metering.

3 Aperture, Shutter, and ISO Stops

The KM02’s aperture, shutter speed, and ISO stops are all customizable to meet the needs of your different cameras and lenses. With full, half, and third stops, the KM02 is easy to operate and capable of more accurate readings. Settings can be saved for up to 3 cameras/lenses.

Max/Min Aperture & Shutter Speed

The maximum/minimum aperture and shutter speed value can be set according to your individual cameras and lenses. This prevents the meter from displaying unnecessary readings.

Exposure Compensation

The exposure compensation feature allows you to manually adjust the exposure from -3EV to +3EV in 1/3 increments.

Applicable to More Cameras

The KM02 comes with three different sizes of aluminum shoe mounts and has 5 different shoe mount positions. This level of versatility allows you to mount it with a bias to the right or the left. This enables the KM02 to be fitted on any camera with ease.

Two Metering Modes

  • Continuous Metering Mode: Light-meter reading will update constantly with data refresh at every 0.6s
  • Single Metering Mode: Single click the metering button to take a new reading
