70 years ago an imaginative company introduced theSekonicL-398A, an idea that would evolve years later to this celebration of the company’s steadfast course that has transformed time and the quest for excellence into unmatched quality, celebrated here with theL-398A Studio Deluxe 70th Anniversary Edition Light Meter.

This meter represents years of evolution. I believe that Ansel Adams had at least one in his large collection of meters. Like those meters, the Special Edition is up to date and can do anything the original L-398A can, just with a little more style. A handy feature of the meter is that owing to the Amorphous Photo Sensor, the meter needs no batteries!

Although the L-398A Studio Deluxe 70th Anniversary Edition meter is bound to become collector’s item, take it out for a run sometime, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
