## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this as flimsy and inaccurate as some reviews say?**
A: No, the L-308 is a very accurate natural light and flash meter, easy to use once you understand the basic functions.  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.
