perfect for the job
the king of meters, even tells you the flash duration! convoluted menu system but a lot of functions to lay with, an up grade from the old Minolta VI, which was more than good enough in its day but didnot how you the flash duration for those that wanted to know.

One of the best investments I’ve made to date
I can’t say enough good things about this product, it’s honestly changed the way I work and improved my work a lot to the point where I don’t feel safe without it. Massively recommend it to anyone.Only bad thing about this particular model is that it can be a bit fiddly having to go into the touch screen menu to change specific settings, especially if you’re in a rush.

Excellent lightmeter
I got this because I wanted a lightmeter, to match the lighting from location to studio (especially when using green screen) - I’ve only used this for filming in dark places at the moment, however it’s a beautiful tool that’s highly functional.

An Essential indulgence
Despite the fact that I'm an old fashioned analogue loving codger; the Sekonic l-858d is by far the easiest and most intuitive light meter I've ever used, plus I can now meter HSS and use it to easily control my Godox lights with the optional RT-GX Godox module, meaning after many years of loyal and reliable service my old trusty Minolta flash meter IV has finally had to be retired, making way for my new, more streamlined and professional looking studio work flow.

Nice bit of kit
Nice and fast for sorting lighting and cine stuff.. Only gripe extra transmitter parts cost abit for triggering remote flash units out

Great spot meter, really useful for difficult to read scenes as well as being brilliant for studio flash (has light ratio reading).

Great meter shame about the parts
Not even week later but the protection rubber for the spot meter eyepiece has come off whilst out on a walk. Seems to have been very loose upon arrival £15 for a replacement from Sekonic. No thanks! I expected better for an £500 bit of kit. Actual meter is great, minus 2 stars in my opinion.
