Hi,
I just received my L-308BII yesterday. What is the difference
between L-308B and L-308BII? What is lumidisk for? At a glance the
display LCD is rather small and cluttered compared with Gossen or
Minolta. But it is smaller than these guys. For your info, I bought
it from B&H for $199.95. They just increased the price to $239.95 for
some reason. Actually they significantly increased the prices of all
Sekonics.
Thanks,
David

Sekonic makes the L-308B, which is tiny (literally pocket-sized), accurate,
and offers not only incident and reflected modes thanks to a sliding
diffuser dome, but also flash metering, if you care. I used it for several
years in conjunction with an M4 and was very satisfied. It runs on one AA
battery, approximately forever in my experience, and can be set to display
either in f-stops and tenths (!) thereof, or in EV. Operation is very
simple and intuitive one you get used to it. Available new from the usual
sources.
