The Sekonic L-308S Flashmate was introduced in 2005[1]. It replaces the Sekonic L-308BII. It is nearly the same as the BII model but the LCD display has changed a bit. The display no longer offers the half circle icongraphy because the aperture can now display three digits and there is a dedicated battery level display. The shutter speed can now display in 1/2 and 1/3 stop.
In 2011, a limited edition series was produced to celebrate Sekonic's 60th anniversary. The limited editions of the meter were available in red, light green, and pale blue.
L-308DC
The L-308DC DigiCineMate, is similar to the L-308S but offers more options for for film makers. Measurment modes include Cine mode, HD mode (frame priority) and photo mode. Has a wider range of fps as well as shutter angle measurement modes compared to previous models.
This model also makes it much easier to measure in FC (foot-candle) and LUX mode without having to use EV conversion charts common with the previous models.
