charles_sieracki1 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I see a new spot meter/incident meter in town these days...the Sekonic 558 "Dual Master." Has anyone yet had any experience with this new meter? It seems to be priced between Sekonic's 508 and 608 model lines. It also seems to be directly in competition with Gossen's Starlight combo meter. Any thoughts as to which of all these meters might be the best to go with?

james_driscoll2 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Don't know about the 558, but I own a 508 and I love it. It is beat to $hit....has been dropped about 45 times, is scratched all over, missing rubber, and still works like new. What is nicer about the 608...is the readout in the finder; no having to drop the thing from your eye to look at the meter reading. Seems like a small thing, but after about 6000 spot meter readings in 3 years, it would have come in handy a few times. Sekonic makes a good durable meter (as I can attest!!!) and all of there products in my opinion are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_shand1 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 i think its more sensitive in low light but a lot more expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conurus Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Other than better sensitivity and the removal of the zoom are there any other differences between the 558 and the 508 ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
