Rent NowSekonic L-408 Multi-Master Digital Light Meter
The Sekonic L-408 Multi-Master is a groundbreaking, all-in-one exposure meter that holds the distinction of being the world’s first water-resistant light meter. Engineered for demanding photographers who refuse to be limited by weather conditions, this versatile tool combines precision incident metering, flash integration, and a built-in 5-degree reflected spot meter into a single, compact chassis.
Dual Metering: Incident & 5-Degree Spot
Built-In 5-Degree Spot Viewfinder: Features an integrated, parallax-free 5-degree optical viewfinder. This allows for instant, highly selective narrow-angle reflected light measurements to precisely calculate exposures for distant subjects or zone-system evaluation.
Retractable Lumisphere & Lumidisc System: Features a unique, built-in combination sensor. The multidirectional Lumisphere can be mechanically retracted with a simple dial turn, instantly converting it into a flat Lumidisc diffuser for measuring lighting contrast ratios and flat-art replication.
Rugged Weather Resistance & Advanced Flash Modes
Water-Resistant Chassis: Specially sealed to guard against the corroding and shorting effects of damp, misty, or rainy conditions, making it an indispensable tool for landscape, nature, and adventure photographers on location.
Versatile Flash Synchronization: Supports both corded flash connections and cordless metering modes. In cordless mode, it maintains an extended 90-second standby window, enabling you to fire and repeat flash measurements from a distance without needing to manually reset the meter.
Cumulative Multi-Flash Mode: Automatically calculates and displays the cumulative exposure required for multi-burst flash applications when stacking light outputs for large commercial sets.
Intuitive Interface & Exposure Calculation
Dual Digital & Analog Display: A large, highly visible LCD panel presents exposure information simultaneously in clear digital numbers and an intuitive analog bar scale.
Priority Measurement Modes: Swap effortlessly between Shutter Priority and Aperture Priority calculation tracks to match your specific shooting style. Apertures are displayed in full, half, and ultra-precise 1/10-stop increments.
Integrated Memory Banks: Retains up to three distinct exposure measurements in each measuring mode (incident, contrast, and reflected) for quick cross-referencing and highlight/shadow balancing on set.
Efficient AA Battery Power: Operates efficiently on a single, universally available 1.5-volt AA battery, complete with an auto-battery check display calibrated in precise 1/10 increments.
Included Accessories & Condition
Dedicated Storage Case: Includes a protective carrying case to safeguard the meter’s delicate optical viewfinder, dials, and silicon photocell from dust and scratches while in your gear bag.
Functional Condition: All internal digital scales, manual retraction mechanics, sync ports, and spotting optics are clean and fully functional.
