I have used a meter for ambient measurements, but I can usually get pretty close without it so I generally don't bother.

But anytime I'm using manual flash, indoors or out, the meter is part of the process.

With a meter and white balance target, like the Photovision target, you can get exposure and custom WB in one exposure. Now that is efficiency!


Whole bunch of gear (wouldn't want to bore you).

I hate POTN and I hate threads like this... (not really)... Now there's another thing I need to get... Just ordered the Skyport universal set + extra receiver yesterday...

Anyway, is the L-358 as useful outside as any lightmeter? :)

The L-358 is very useful outside. Take a look at the following thread. https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=478656. The shots I took with the couple was metered with the L358.
