Not enough info. Give us a clue as to intended use, budget, and size limitations.

I also have the L358 and it couldn't be simpler.

I really like the Konica Minolta meters...is what my mentor uses, but since KM shut it's doors they are hard to come by. The Sekonic is nice though, because you can use it with PW's, if you have those.


Jason - I use Canon and stuff

I use the sekonic. I think its the newest one, or one away from that.

Edit, L558R so its the newer one. Just needed to trigger the pocketwizards.
