colin_miller3 Posted May 19, 2001 Share Posted May 19, 2001 Any 508 users out there have this trouble? I was using my meter today in non corded mode and my Lumedyne 200 w/s pack and the meter did not pick up the light. It was about 15 feet away at the 200 w/s seting shot into a 45" umbrella. At 10 feet, I got a reading of f/8. So at 20 feet it should have f/5.6 or f/4, right? That's beside the point, just testing you? Why didn't it pick up the light? I was triggering the flash both at the flash and via a Quantum radio slave. The same problem occured last week, but from about 30 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed farmer - mount laurel, Posted May 25, 2001 Share Posted May 25, 2001 I have noticed the same problem when trying to meter my Quantum flashes outdoors. I never did determine the problem. My guess at the time was that the difference between the flash and the sunlight was too small to be picked up by the meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
