This is the main meter, that my college supplies our photo students. Now, the bad, it is not an Abrams's tank. Keep it away from kids, pets, and in-laws, and don't tie to the bumper of your Ford F-150 you are good. Any meter, is subject to damage from misuse, just hang it around your neck, you are good. **Q: Does the L-308X-U have the ability to display the flash to ambient ration?** A: No it does not. I believe the L-358, 558 and 608 will. **Q: Will this work with Godox triggers for Sony, both ambient and flash?** A: It an easy to use light meter that handles any type/source of light. It won't trigger strobes. Rather, it reads the level of light available when you trigger the strobe(s). When I use it with strobes, I set the ISO & shutter speed to what I'm looking for, trigger the strobes w/ my wireless flash trigger and see what the aperture should be. Then I adjust the power levels on the strobes ant test again. **Q: What is the temperature operating range** A: 0 to 40 degrees C. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have *by A***N on March 20, 2026* Being a headshot photographer this is a must have piece of kit.
