New Litemaster light meters from Sekonic: L-478D and L-478DR

Trying to avoid the announcement rush of Photokina Monday, Sekonic has announced two new light meters today, the Litemaster L-478D and the L-478DR. The DR offers interconnection/interoperability with the world of Pocket Wizards. Coming along for the ride is a new 5-degree spot viewfinder as well.

The B&H In Depth blog has a very detailed post on the new Sekonics, including a detailed spec sheet! You can also find more information and/or place pre-orders at the B&H pages for the L-478D ($390) and the L-478DR ($470, Pocket-Wizardry) and the 5-degree spot VF ($110).

Sekonic has prepared a 4-minute video overview of the new light meters, YouTube-embedded below. In addition, they have two more videos with photographer Mark Wallace talking about using the new lightmeters (see YouTube Playlist). They also have a 4-video playlist for film-makers (video).
