Default Sekonic L-758Cine or L-758DR

Someone I know is selling a Sekonic L-758Cine for a really good price. I am not to familiar with light meters is this a good meter to use even though it is made for video or should I stay away from this model?

those are really good light meters. although you cant really use all those other features if you're using it just for photography but if the price is right, why not.

The Cine version has just about all the features of the "standard" version plus a few more specifically for shooting movies. However, it doesn't come with a PocketWizard RF module like the standard version does so you'd have to get that extra if want to trigger PW units with that meter (unless the original owner got it already).
