LIGHT METERS

If you're going to be using an older camera like the Mamiya C220 or a 4x5 camera, chances are you'll need a light meter. This also applies if you're going to be working with studio lights, like the Alien Bees. The Mamiya 645s all have integrated meters, so you wont need one if you're checking out one of these. I would encourage every photo student to get their own light meter. It's a wonderful, convenient thing to have. That said, if you can't get one for some reason, we've got plenty!

This is the Sekonic L-308s. We currently have four of these, although that number has had a tendency to fluctuate. (If you have one of our light meters PLEASE BRING IT BACK!) It's a great, compact light meter that does almost everything any photographer needs out of a light meter. Which leads us to the other meter...
the Sekonic Flashmaster! We've got one of these puppies. The main reason you would want to check this out is if you need to do spot metering. Otherwise, it has all the same functionality of the other meter.

Here's everyone, standin' in a row!
