I have used this at twilight and in Florida at mid-day without any issues. **Q: Is this a good light meter foruse with the Zone system** A: No. Spot meters are preferred for zone system (to measure areas in a scene) and this is not a spot meter. This is primarily an incident meter. **Q: In the product description, it mentions ev3-ev17. what does that mean?** A: Metering range: EV3-EV17 (i.e., f/1.4, 1/4sec.- f/11, 1/1000 sec. at ASA 100 with 50mm f/1.4 lens. ASA film speed setting) **Q: Would this be accurate for shooting white objects such as white walls?** A: This meter is quite accurate and compares well with other meters I own. When photographing white objects I use a grey card, or my skin tones to get an correct exposure. Or use the incident light setting by pointing at the light source. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sekonic 401-208 Twin Mate Light Meter (Black/White) - Kodak Ultramax 400 Color Print Film 36 Exp. 35mm DX 400 135-36 (108 Pics) (Pack of 3), Basic - Ilford HP5 Plus Black and White Printing Film 35mm ISO 400 36 Poses 2-Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4985781-sekonic-l-208-twin-mate-analog-incident-and-reflected-light](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4985781-sekonic-l-208-twin-mate-analog-incident-and-reflected-light) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
