Sekonic 308 Meter Readout

[richard_l]

I'm farsighted, but I only use glasses for reading and computer. I don't want to be bothered with them when I'm out taking pictures. I have no trouble reading the f-numbers, distances, and shutter speeds on my lenses and cameras, nor is there any problem focussing. Unfortunately, however, the numbers on my wonderful (but tiny) Digisix seem to be getting smaller and smaller. 🙁 So I'm wondering, is the readout on the Sekonic L-308 fairly large and legible?

I have not owned an L-308 but friend have and I guess the readout was OK but not huge. I've currently got a Minolta autometer IVf and the shutter speeds are 0.5" tall and the f-stops 0.7" I think the sekonic has a similar sized readout.

I have a Sekonic L-308b and the readout is large and legible. Fits in the pocket and I've sat on it loads of time without damage. I'd recommend one.

This guide will give you a better idea 😉

I have the 308BII, and digits are large - perfectly legible at 2m. The new 308S has a new LCD layout with "better readability" (according to their web site). Perhaps I could reach 4m!
