The Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster is the world's first multi-function light meter that can be programmed to match and be calibrated to the sensitivity of your digital camera sensor or type of film for perfect exposure control.  They have produced an incredible meter that more than meets the needs of the photographic community. This full-featured meter will definitely make everyone happy as it is loaded with every imaginable feature - and then some...

Expanding on the unqualified success of the L-558R, Sekonic has taken the next step and designed a meter that offers advanced features such as Spot/Incident measurement modes, flash/ambient measurements, flash analyzing, built-in PocketWizard wireless triggering, plus Exposure Profiling, Pre-Exposure warning, 14 selectable custom settings, and much more. This weather-resistant meter not only meets the needs of the digital community but can also serve the cinema community. The L-758Cine model will have expanded cine speed (fps) 1 thru 1000, Lux 0.63 to 190,000, Foot-Candle 0.10 to 180,000, Cd/m to 190,000, Foot-Lambert 0.07 to 190,000 and Preset filter compensation values (including Kodak Wratten filter number)

The L-758DR measures light beyond the capabilities of your camera and ensure repeatable accurate and consistent measurements. In addition, the dynamic range of a particular digital camera or film can be stored, recalled and displayed. Using the USB transfer cable (included) and the Sekonic Digital Input and Transfer software (included), a digital camera or film's exposure profile can be uploaded from a computer (Macintosh or Windows) to the L-758DR.

Up to three different digital camera or film exposure profiles can be saved and quickly retrieved with a touch of a button. With its Pre-Exposure warning indicators and adjustable mid-tone settings, the L-758DR puts the power of digital exposure control in the palm of your hands.

When you need to take a light reading - think Sekonic.

Important: To comply with local broadcast regulations, Sekonic wireless systems sold in the various markets around the world are designed to operate at different frequencies. When purchasing and/or installing a transmitter module or using the meter with a receiver, be sure that the meter, module and receiver are designed to be used in your location and use the same frequency.


The FCC designation indicates the meter and module are designed for operation in the USA/North American market. Frequencies: CH 1 to 16: 344.0 MHz; CH 17 to 32: 346.5 to 354.0MHz

The CE designation indicates the meter and module are designed for operation in European countries. Frequencies: CH 1 to 16: 433.62 MHz; CH 17 to 32: 434.22MHz

When purchasing and/or installing a transmitter module or using the meter with a receiver, be sure that the meter, module and receiver are designed to be used in your location and use the same frequency.

The wireless flash triggering system used in Sekonic meters consists of two parts that are designed to be used together and operate only at a specific frequency. Do not install a CE marked module into an FCC marked meter or FCC marked module into a CE marked meter as this will produce a unit that is not compatible with either frequency.

Exposure Profiling
In order to achieve correct exposure profiling with the 758DR, you need to purchase the optional Exposure Profile Target II. Once purchased, your meter becomes programmable to respond to light exactly like your digital camera or type of film; The L-758DR can be programmed to perfectly match the sensitivity of a digital camera sensor or type of film for perfect exposure control; In addition, the dynamic range of the digital camera or film can also be stored. Up to three Exposure Profiles (digital cameras, types of film, file type or file type) can be stored and recalled quickly and easily. Exposure profiles can be created for the following measuring modes:
  • Reflected measurements (calculated from ISO 3 to 8000)
  • Ambient measurements (calculated from ISO 3 to 8000)
  • Incident measurements (calculated from ISO 3 to 8000)
  • Flash measurements (calculated from ISO 3 to 8000)
  • Four Meters In One
    Independent programming of Flash, Ambient, Incident and Reflected measuring modes customized to your digital camera or type of film
    Working together (Incident and Reflected modes)
    Measured values can be memorized and retained in both reflected and incident measuring modes; For example: A incident reading can be retained and displayed as a diffused mid-tone on the analogy scale (f-stop or EV scale), at the same time as reflected spot reading of a highlight or shadow can be measured and memorized; The result is a Highlight, Mid-Tone and Shadow measurement displayed on the meter's analogy scale
    Spot with Digital Display
    The L-758DR DigitalMaster features a rectangular 1° parallax-free spot viewfinder; In dim or bright light situations, the L-758DR DigitalMaster's spot viewfinder displays f/stops, shutter speeds and more; The built-in spot meter measures both reflected ambient, flash or combined lighting
    Pre-Exposure Warning
    Displays and alerts when a measured value exceeds your digital cameras (or type of film) dynamic range
    Super Sensitive Flash Metering
    Measures light beyond the limits of any camera (reflected flash measurements as low as f-2.0 (ISO 100)
    1° Spot with Digital Display
    Rectangular 1° spot viewfinder with vivid display
    Mid-Tone Adjustment
    The Mid-Tone button acts as an exposure shift, moving the highlight or shadow within the dynamic range of the digital camera or type of film; Once the desired high light or shadow setting is selected, the pre-exposure blinking alert icon stops flash, indicating that the value is within the recordable range
    Retractable Lumisphere
    A built-in adjustable incident dome (Lumisphere) provides full measuring in the standard position or when retracted, provides cosine-corrected light readings for individual light source measurements or flat artwork
    Analyzing Function
    Simultaneous reading of flash and ambient light is analyzed and displayed
  • Combined readings of flash and ambient
  • Percentage of flash in the total exposure
  • Simultaneous display of flash, ambient and combined readings on the analog display
  • Exposure, Calibration and Filter Compensation
    Independent incident and reflected exposure compensation of up to +/-9.9 EV can be easily set for custom film exposure corrections or for bellows extension factors; With the calibration, compensation setting of +/-1.0 EV, matching built-in camera meters or other handheld meters is a snap; There is even a filter compensation setting of +/-5.0 EV for filter factor compensation
    Data Transfer Software
    Compatible with both Windows and Macintosh computers, the Sekonic Data Transfer Software automatically calculates the entered test data from a digital camera and creates an exposure profile; These profiles contain exposure characteristics for Flash, Ambient, Incident and Reflected exposure modes from ISO 3 to ISO 8000; In addition, the dynamic range at all ISOs are calculated and stored; Exposure profiles are transferred via a USB cable (included) from the Data Transfer Software (included) directly into the L-758DR. Once the data is completely transferred to the meter, it is automatically calibrated and programmed for the specific digital camera sensor or film loaded in its memory
    Dual ISO Settings
    The L-758DR offers the flexibility of taking a single measurement and displaying the f-stop and shutter speed for two different ISO film speeds, such as negative film and Polaroid proofing film; The second ISO setting is also ideal for calculating exposure compensation such as filter factors or bellows factors, without having to change the original film speed settings
    All Weather Design
    All buttons, switches and compartments are sealed and the meter housing has been constructed with durable, rugged conditions in mind; Ideal for shooting in sandy, rainy or humid conditions
    14 Custom Settings
    The custom settings mode provides a quick and easy setup of individual meter preferences. The L-758DR's features and modes can be turned on or off, as well as modified to fit the needs of the individual using the meter
    Memory All Clear
    Memorized values can be all cleared or the last memorized value can be deleted (backspace clear), in addition, individually selected values can be selected and cleared

    I hesitated buying an incident meter because so many “vocal” digital photographers said they were obsolete. They’re wrong. Setting ratios on studio strobes with the integrated pocket wizard module eliminates guesswork, exposures are more accurate and predictable and the workflow is more efficient. The L-758DR is well built, the Tenba case is well padded with a belt loop for easy access and includes a storage area for a backup battery. The meter & exposure profile target are expensive, but you get what you pay for.
    Using the L-758DR provides me with invaluable feedback in my lighting analysis: ratios, dynamic range, percentage of flash relative to ambient in an exposure, etc. You will learn more about lighting by actively metering the scene and observing meter readings than by passively letting the camera do it.

    Overall, from a design point of view, this has to be the best meter on the planet. It's reasonably easy to use, a dream to use and dead accurate too. But, there were problems for me.

    I tried to calibrate the meter against my Nikon bodies. Nothing worked. I was getting error messages that were not documented in the manual they give you. I wrote Japan three times and got no help or even a reply. I wrote the Canadian distributor three times and only on the third try was there a response. The response said "we have assigned your case to someone, you'll hear from us shortly". Well I never heard from them at all. It's over a year now since I got that message.

    After three frustrating months I did finally figure out how to calibrate the meter with my cameras and lenses. It's remarkably simple when you know how but until you know how you have to leap tall buildings.

    Technical support from Sekonic is non existent and is really bad, they don't seem to care if they have struggling customers or not. I guess they figure they'll sell meters anyway since it is the best. Their documentation leaves a lot to be desired too.

    But ... if you don't have a need to calibrate the meter with your cameras, it's an amazing piece of engineering most likely the best in the world. You simply take your chances when you get into technical problems.

      Comments about Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster Flash Meter:

      I have owned and used this product for over two years now. I bought mine from B&H. This meter has consistently helped me to nail excellent exposures with far fewer "test" shots needed to get a dead-on exposure. I use it in low light, on-location portrait, flash photography, and some landscape shooting. And I never leave home without it!
      Yes, it is pricey. BUT ... it allows me to get the images I want quickly. That is a big deal with impatient subjects who do not want to spend a lot of time sitting in front of the camera.
      I also use Sekonic's exposure target as recommended.
      The Sekonic L-758DR meters incident light to get an exposure that is more accurate than what my cameras' meters can produce nearly all the time. If you are serious about nailing the image quickly, this product is for you!

        This is replacement for a stolen same type meter. This one flickers w/f stop but not shutter speed AND the spot is locked on 1 degree, not offering the 1-5 degree zoom of my stolen meter. I miss that feature. Waiting for Sekonic to respond to the flicker problem. Really wish I could switch the flicker to the shutter speed because I shoot in manual and want the f stop fixed. So far it's a real problem.

              Comments about Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster Flash Meter:

              I use this product to set up my flash units for portrait photography indoors and outdoors. The meter provides outstandingly accurate readings that allow me to get the image correct the first time 98% of the time. The L-758DR also has the RT-32CTL transmitter module installed in it (although it is not clearly noted on the shipping box or on B&H's web site) which triggers all of my PocketWizard Nikon FlexTT5's perfectly.

              This is a small light calculating computer that figures averages and allows the user to modify the readings to meet all the demands the photographer can come up with. I also use this meter to help nail the many HDR images that I take. In the past I would have to take as many as nine frames to try and capture the range of light present in a scene and with the L-758DR I can get all the information needed to do a correctly exposed and realistic looking HDR in three exposures. Exposure compensation is a snap and can be easily programmed into the ISO2 setting.

              The other really nice feature of this meter is that you can profile your camera (with the Sekonic Exposure Profile II Target) and enter this information directly into the meter and you will then instantly know if you are within the workable range of your particular camera. I have also entered a couple of custom exposure range settings that I make use of with my camera. This is a superb meter, will meet all of your needs and help you get the proper exposures the first time around with total confidence and ease. I do not go anywhere without this meter, I only wish I had purchased it quite some time back as it would have saved me a ton of disk space and a large number of un-needed shutter actuations. There is a three year warranty on this light meter and can be obtained at no additional cost just by registering the purchase on the Sekonic web site.

              If you are in the market for a light meter I can highly recommend the L-758DR without hesitation. It may cost a little bit more than some of the others but it also comes with a built in 1º spot meter that is amazingly accurate - once you have this meter you will not want or likely need anything else.

                I'm a serious hobbyist and enjoy doing landscapes. The L-758DR Sekonic meter meets my needs exactly. Being able to profile a particular camera and lens is really great. I can see instantly if the scene is beyond the exposure range of my camera. Then I can meter exactly to figure out the number of shots I need if I want to do an HDR shot. It is extremely accurate for measuring exposure. Shots are dead on!!!

                Comments about Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster Flash Meter:

                Although I basically shoot digital (5D Mk-II), I've rediscovered the creative challenge, pleasure, and satisfaction of shooting medium format slide film again (Rolleiflex, Bronica, and Yashica) after a 45 year hiatus. But getting the correct exposure was hit and miss since I was using reflective meter readings for my landscape shots, and to be honest, my Sekonic L-208 light meter is a disappointment. Contrasty scenes were either under or overexposed half of the time. The Sekonic L-758DR solved the problem. I use, and generally average, the incident reading with as many as 6-7 reflective spot readings for landscape shots...and the 1-degree field of view spot meter is perfect for my needs...plus the spot meter is built into the unit...nothing extra to carry (and lose). And this meter does all of the averaging calculations for me. The meter obviously does a lot more, but this is all I need for now when I shoot film. But there's more... I've noticed that I nail the exposures first time when I'm shooting digital, especially portraits. It's quite a time-saver. Although I have no problem with "chimping" to get the correct exposure with digital (gotta' love digital), I do less of it after using this meter. Of course, you can't chimp with film. You have to nail it each time.

                  I have the L358 Also. This meter seems to be easyer to use. I think that the camera profile makes it more acurate. I really wish I would have got this one a long time ago. I would sugest to anyone to get this one and the l358 as a backup.

                  Comments about Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster Flash Meter:

                  I love this lightmeter. I was thinking about buying its bigger brother, the L-758 Cine. This covered almost everything I cared about, so I got this one instead.

                  I use it for still photography. This is a great flash meter that I use for setting indoor lights.

                  I've used it for cinematography with my 16mm Arriflex and my Super 8 Canon. It gives you a great selection of frame rates, but not quite as many as the L-758 Cine.

                  It has a built in spot meter. It works great! Saved me from having to buy a seperate one.

                  The only downsides to this meter I've had so far, are the lanyard and the battery. The lanyard is far too long, and is not adjustable. On a short person, this would be dragging on the ground.

                  The battery is the old film camera battery standard, a 3V CR123A. This probably was a great idea back in the old days (The 90s, the distant past), when cameras took these batteries; letting a pro carry the same as spares. These days, the only thing I carry that uses these is this meter. My digital camera uses different batteries. And when I shoot film, I mostly use my old K1000.

                  These are minor complaints. I couldn't be happier with this meter, and look for excuses to use it. Hopefully, I'll still be using it 20 years from now.

I am new to portrait photography and this is my first light meter along with the newly purchased strobe lighting equipment. Within an hour, I was able to fully understand how to use this product and its so easy to use.

                        Not only is this meter feature rich, if you learn it's capabilities and apply them, it speeds up many shooting situations. Once you have a lock on an incident reading, you can shoot pretty continuously in many situations without re-metering. The spot meter is a great way to determine your brightest highlight, allowing you to expose based on protecting that while pushing it to an acceptable limit (perfect ETTR). For learning, I highly recommend checking out the on-demand webinars under the classroom tab on Sekonic's website, either before or after purchasing.

                        Using an exposure meter in today's digital environment is a lost art. If people took the time to understand how a light meter could help them, they would have the tools to make better pictures!

                        I've had it for 2 weeks and have used it in a studio and outdoors and I have to say the multi functions available for both environments were extremely helpful. The only cons (with almost all meters) is I wish it was more rugged (rubberized or something). I'm not saying poor construction, just a wish list item.

                            I tend to use this more for incident readings. It has been giving me better exposure settings than the camera meter.

                            I did a lot of research before I bought this product, and went straight for the best. It was overwhelming at first but with all the tutorials and lots of practice, it paid off. Best photo investment I have made so far. Highly recommend this product.
