## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used for strobe/flash?**
A: No. This is a very simple, nearly fool proof manual meter. No battery to wear out. No contacts to activate a flash with.

**Q: Does "amorphous photocell" mean the old cds cadmium sulfide cells? i thought they had a problem, spectral sensitivity, that's why we didn't use them?**
A: It is not cadmium sulfide, as CdS only vary resistance with light and requires an external power supply. I believe these are selenium cells that produce a current with light and therefore require no battery to operate. The problem is this type of light meter cannot handle low light levels. I would say outdoor use only. It is a very reliable light meter that has been giving me excellent exposures for years (given that I know under what conditions to adjust for light/dark ratio of the scene).

**Q: can i use this meter for the zone system?**
A: No; the Zone System requires a reflected spot meter.  The Sekonic L-758 meter has a 1 degree spot that can be used for this.

**Q: Where it's made?**
A: My Sekonic L-398A light meter was made in Japan. I have owned it for about 30 years. It still works as good as it did the day that I bought it. Not sure where they are making them now.
