Ok I went to see a friend of myne to hear his opinions about my first shots, and after a while he asked me. Do you have a flash meter? I said no I ran out of $$, and he says "hey I've got a flash meter for sale" and showed me a Sekonic L-308 the older model not the S.
While giving it a quick look I noticed that the Shutter increments don't have all the stops my Rebel XT has. For example my sync speed is 200 and the sekonic goes over it to 250, I normally work right now in 160 and the sekonic doesn't have that either.
Its used and he's asking about $130, I was not thinking it of buying it since I don't really have the cash right now and in my opinion I go just with the LCD preview and the histogram (I know this does not negate the use of a flash meter) wich is working for me.
So
Would you buy it?
Or wait (posibly 6 months or more) to have the $ to buy a new one?
I have 2 AB800 so I would use them for flash exposure readings and use the in camera meter for natural light only
