Mannequin posted:I did it! Thank you. I had some gift certificates from KEH (boy, do they hate dealing with gift certificates over the phone), and ordered my Sekonic L-758DR complete with case, software, and cables. I'm really excited! This seems like an awesome investment. Plus, the fact that I got a couple hundred bucks off because of my gift certificates made it an even better deal! What really sold me was doing some research on the Sekonic website and then going to YouTube and seeing some quickstart videos about how to use it. I feel like I will have a tool that I can use for a very long time and it will be able to work for me in my analog film situations as well as very effectively in my lighting situations with PocketWizards. So thanks for the recommendation, and I look forward to the future! I too bought the 758DR to use with film because I like expensive toys.

Mannequin posted:Well I have a digital setup also with PocketWizards and strobes and I wanted something that would be useful in that scenario as well, so it wasn't just to throw money at a meter for my fim. I also figured it would be a useful tool to learn to use. If I plan on working as an assistant it would be nice to be able to say "I know how to use this equipment". KEH had it at a pretty good price and I also had gift certificates, so what the hell. Hey man, I too have PocketWizards for my strobes. And I assist for awesome photogs who actually even use the same meter (McMadCow) and mine never really gets used. At the end of the day, I like nice toys, and this is a really nice toy for me.

Mannequin posted:That's awesome! Sorry, I couldn't tell from your first post if you were being overly sarcastic and making fun of me for buying an expensive meter. I was being serious, and laughing at you also. Just saying I went down the same dumb path, and I wish you better luck. McMadCow posted:Bowbles you name dropping son of a bitch! I get paid in name dropping credits.

I told you so. Seriously though, you have no idea how a meter works. Spend some time researching before making angry posts about how much your meter sucks.
