70 years ago an imaginative company introduced the Sekonic L-398A, an idea that would evolve years later to this celebration of the company's steadfast course that has transformed time and the quest for excellence into unmatched quality, celebrated here with the L-398A Studio Deluxe 70th Anniversary Edition Light Meter.
This meter represents years of evolution. I believe that Ansel Adams had at least one in his large collection of meters. Like those meters, the Special Edition is up to date and can do anything the original L-398A can, just with a little more style. A handy feature of the meter is that owing to the Amorphous Photo Sensor, the meter needs no batteries!
Although the L-398A Studio Deluxe 70th Anniversary Edition meter is bound to become collector's item, take it out for a run sometime, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
The analog dial gives you full range of exposure settings for both still and cine applications at a single glance. The analog needle indicates the brightness in foot candles
As light receptor element, amorphous photosensor is newly adopted. It is unnecessary to bring replacement batteries
