The only drawback with exposure meters and accessories

First of all I use the Sekonic L-758 DR and I love it. I wanted a gauge that was smaller and lighter and still got the job done. A friend of mine has a Digipro F and he said it has many more improvements. So I decided to order it, I was delighted with the size and quality of the product. It was light but strong.

Pros
  • DYNAMIC SWITCHING between different cameras by presetting and selecting 3 camera profiles and one video profile.
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

If you don't use it every day, or preferably multiple times a day, I definitely guarantee you'll forget all those crazy little characters and nonsense they built into the display (instead of the actual letters of the alphabet). Many of the instructions in the manual will NOT produce results on the display that they say theyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • CONTRAST RANGE CONTROL - Measures subject and light contrast and displays minimum, maximum and average values for preselected aperture/shutter speed combinations
Cons
  • No instructions
