L-758DR Highlights
- Profiles the specific sensitivity levels of your camera's imaging sensor for exacting light readings.
- Exposures accurate down to a tenth-of-a-stop in full-stop mode for both ambient and electronic flash light readings with a repeat accuracy of /- 0.1 EV. Meter can also display shutter-speeds and apertures in half or third-stop increments to mirror the exposure settings on your camera. Flash exposures can be recorded cumulatively or non-cumulatively.
- Built-in 1-degree spot meter features an adjustable diopter (-2.5 to 1.0d), and is threaded for 30.5mm filters and/or lens hood (a tethered lens cap is included). Large red LED characters display exposure data within the viewfinder allowing for real-time exposure referencing while maintaining continuous eye contact with your subject.
- The L-758DR's head swivels 270-degrees allowing you to 'walk the set' while maintaining constant visual contact with the meter's LCD display. Flash exposures can be taken with or without a tethered PC cord.
- Up to 9 readings can be stored for meter averaging and contrast evaluations in aperture and shutter priority modes.
- Mid-tone button allows you to shift the highlights or shadows to within the dynamic range of the profiled exposure reading. Warning flashes for out of range readings.
- Incident readings of three-dimensional objects are taken using the Lumisphere, which can be retracted for selective, narrower-field readings such as contrast ratio for flash lighting or for flat-field objects such as artwork.
- For mixed lighting scenarios, the Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster displays the combined exposure values of both flash and ambient light sources, including the percentage of flash in total exposure in 10-percent increments.
- Dual ISO buttons allow for quick exposure referencing when working with two differing film speeds, film and Polaroids, or other shooting scenarios involving dual ISO ratings.
- An indigo, backlit LCD screen with large text and icons allows for easy referencing when ambient light levels drop below EV 6.
- For wireless metering including Selective Quad Triggering - the included Sekonic RT-32 Radio Transmitter Module will wirelessly trigger PocketWizard-enabled flash systems within a 100' range from a choice of 32 channels.
- Includes soft case, strap, synchro terminal cap, lens cap, Data Transfer Software, neck cord, CR123A lithium battery, custom function and multi-function charts (stickers).

Description
This is Sekonic's brilliant L-758dr Light Meter. Packed full of features to give today's digital photographers repeatable precision, accurate measurements and digital exposure control, this together with wireless radio triggering. Spot & incident light readings under flash and/or ambient lighting conditions calibrated to match the sensitivity of your camera's imaging sensor, fantastic.
The Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster is simply the most dynamic light meter you will ever own. It can record incident or 1-degree spot-readings under ambient and/or strobe lighting down to a tenth-stop in accuracy, and it's sealed against the nastiest of weather. With the included Sekonic RT-32 Radio Transmitter Module and you can wirelessly trigger PocketWizard-enabled flash systems within a 100' range. But that's not what makes the Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster different from any other meter you have owned. What moves the L-758DR DigitalMaster to the head of the class is that it is the only meter that can be calibrated to read light the way the sensor in your particular camerareads light.
Like film, imaging sensors vary in light sensitivity levels from one batch to the next. Despite manufacturers best efforts, fluctuations of native ISO sensitivities of up to plus/minus half-a-stop can be detected across the uncut wafers as they come off the manufacturing line. Depending on which 'slice of the pie' is inside your camera, the specs listed in the camera manual may not hold true to the characteristics of the sensor in your particular camera.
By running an easy calibration test using Sekonic's L-758DR, a Sekonic Exposure Profile Target (optional) and the included Data Transfer Software (Mac & Windows), you can accurately profile the sensitivity characteristics of your camera's sensor to determine the compensation value for its true native ISO, dynamic range and clipping points.
After calculating the test data and establishing new exposure parameters, this data is uploaded from your computer via the included USB cable back to the meter where it is stored as camera profiles. Profiling data from up to 3 cameras can be stored in your meter for instant recall.
