Some of my best landscapes and studio images would never been possible without huge amounts of post without my 758DR. It’s a tool I use daily and without exception.. The idea that the internal metering on your bodies will handle all the exact functions of these meters is ludicrous. Although this is the first release of a new meter from Sekonic in quite sometime, I don’t really see any high points here except it’s more attractive to younger people with the need to manipulate a touch screen.

If you’re serious about knowing the hows and whys of what’s taking place just before exposing your image, buy a meter, profile it to the lens(s)/body((s) combinations you have and take it to the next level.

I have NO use for one of these, but I want one all the same. ^_^

When dealing with ratios of light in the studio I find it helpful to use a light meter.

I don’t, but I am wanting to get one someday. No matter how sophisticated your in-camera metering is, it’s still reflective light that’s being analyzed, and not incident (which is best).

And film sets…extremely useful on film sets when you want to make sure you’re not blowing out certain elements when you’re dealing with multiple key lights, etc.

Any photographer who shoots strobe in studio or on location uses a light meter.
