Sekonic L-558R Dualmaster - Digital Incident, Spot and Flash Light Meter - with Digital Radio Transmitter Module - Weatherproof

For starters, the remarkable Sekonic L-558R Dualmaster is the world's most sensitive multi-function meter, reading flash down to an astounding f2 (at ISO 100), twice as low as any other multi-function meter in production. And with the optional PocketWizard module inside, it becomes nothing less than a Master Control Center. You can use it to fire individual cameras and flash units remotely, without wires, using a 16/24 bit, security encoded digital signal. And that's just the beginning of what this meter can do.

Utilizing rubber seals throughout the housing and controls of the meter, the DualMaster is water and moisture resistant. Although the meter can be used in rainy or wet conditions, it should not be used underwater. The large LCD panel makes reading the data easy and convenient; the panel illuminates automatically in low-light surroundings.

In order to retain the simple stylish look of the DualMaster, less frequently used functions and controls are confined to custom software functions.

1. The L-558R includes Sekonic's unique built-in retractable lumisphere. Simply turn the selector knob to extend it for 3D incident readings or retract it for a narrow incident metering angle that's ideal for brightness evaluations, lighting ratio setups or precise readings of flat subjects.

2. The L-558R is also a true 1° spotmeter with a parallax-free viewfinder and in-finder, illuminated digital display showing apertures in tenths, shutter speeds up to 1/8000 sec. and exposure compensation values.

3. The L-558R features an extra large, cool-green illuminated full-information LCD panel that displays the complete range of readouts and modes as well as battery condition. It can memorize and recall up to nine readings in any mode, average them and display them individually on an analog scale.

4. The L-558R includes a flash/ambient analyzing mode that simultaneously reads both flash and ambient light automatically and can display combined flash and ambient readings, percentage of flash in the total exposure and simultaneous display of flash, ambient and combined readings on an analog scale. It also reads in shutter-priority, aperture-priority or EV modes and makes cumulative flash readings in cord or cordless mode.

5. The L-558R includes a broad range of custom settings so pros and enthusiasts can tailor it to their individual working methods. And its body and controls are so well sealed that it's rated splashproof to JIS water-resistance standard - so serious photographers can take control with confidence in any weather.

6. The L-558R is competitively priced. It gives pros and serious enthusiasts exactly what they need - nothing more and nothing less - and represents a remarkable value.
