I've seen Sekonic is made from the Phillippines and not from Japan. How's the realibility and quality?

Nothing flimsy or cheap about them. Solid meters and they will take a beating. Robert

Sekonic makes a very good product in these two meters. Thats the reason they are the most popular meters to date. [Gear List | Flickr

I don't beat the crap out of mine but it takes a reasonable amount of abuse when I have it on location. I don't baby it either. Rock solid unit! Robert
