Added to their current premium models, the new SPEEDMASTER L-858D forges a significant design change and feature set that addresses the look, feel and interaction of today’s electronic photographic gear.  

The NEW Sekonic SPEEDMASTER L-858D combines over 60 years of Sekonic innovation with cutting-edge flash measurement technology to meet and exceed the demands of today’s photographers. Pioneering the flash duration measurement, the L-858D provides the critical flash data needed to calculate proper ambient-flash exposure. As its name implies, the SPEEDMASTER L-858D also measures the brief flash bursts of HSS (High Speed Sync) for precision flash exposure control.

The L-858D includes the essence of the popular L-478D series features and functions that enable photographers to break through the boundaries of ISO sensitivity, flash and ambient shutter speeds, as well as frame rates (f/s) and shutter angles for cinematographers.

Both of motion image makers and landscape photographers will really enjoy the increased sensitivity for both incident and reflected-spot measurements providing extreme low light level readings. In addition, the L-858D offers optional wireless triggering modules now available for Elinchrom^® and Phottix^® in addition to PocketWizard^® brand radio triggering devices. With its 2.7” color touch screen and truly innovative advanced and sophisticated features, the L-858D leads the way to the next generation of light measurement control.

In a recent interview, Mr. Lorenzo Gasperini (Senior International Sales & Marketing Manager) stated, “The SPEEDMASTER L-858D is a perfect example of ‘necessity is the mother of invention’. It wasn’t long after PocketWizard released their HyperSync® mode that the Sekonic team realized flash duration measurement would be a critical part of the process. Flash duration was always on the drawing board, but with the release of the L-858 it is the perfect time to incorporate it and other innovative design enhancements. The L-858 is a culmination of designs and concepts drawn from the needs of photo/video/cinematographers and the talent of Sekonic engineers.”
