DUALMASTER L-558 & L-558CINE
Measure the unknown with - - - the L-558 DUALMASTER
Darkness Spot (1) measurements
1 degree spot meter that measures reflected flash output down to an amazing f/2.0(@ISO100), and reflected ambient down to EV 1 with complete exposure data, easily readable in digital Elector-Luminescence readout conveniently placed along the bottom edge of the 1 degrees spot  finder.

Radio Triggering System
Electronic flash units can be remotely triggered with the meter's optional, internal, multi-channel radio triggering device for wireless metering.

Analyzing Function
In this mode, a simultaneous reading of flash and ambient light is analyzed.The exposure readings are display in three convenient methods on the LCD panel.
1)
Combined readings of flash and ambient
2)
Percentage of flash in the total exposure

3)Simultaneous display of flash, ambient and combined readings on the analog scale

Full, 1/2 or 1/3 step selectable readings
Both shutter speeds and apertures can be displayed in either full, 1/2 or 1/3-step increments to match your film or digital camera.
Selecting Full, 1/2 or 1/3-step increments is quick and easy with custom setting.

Memory Mode
Nine memory banks are available in both Aperture priority and Shutter Priority Modes,making contrast evaluation and averaging possible in both modes(558Cine:Shutter priority only)

Exposure, Calibration and Filter Compensation
Independent incident and reflected Exposure compensation of +/-9.9EV, Calibration compensation of +/-1.0 EV and Filter compensation +/-5.0

Cumulative Flash Exposure
Unlimited number of cumulative flash exposure are calculated and the total light value is digitally displayed along with the number of exposures.

Optional Step up Ring (Lens Hood)
For attaching filters to the front of the lens (up to 40.5mm filter)
Also acts as a lens hood preventing erroneous light measurements caused by lens glare.

Module RT-32
The Radio Transmitter Module plugs directly into a built-in compartment behind the battery door. The Transmitter module triggers the electronic flash units wirelessly as the meter takes a measurement. Channel ID's are easily selected through the meters built-in software(CH 1-16 Single Remote Triggering, CH 17-32 Remote control "Quad Triggering"), Compatible with Sekonic and Pocket Wizard Digital Radio Slaves.
Radio Receiver RR-4
Four digitally coded channels provide reliable triggering of remote electronic flash units. Its simple features provide easy and dependable operation. Connecting cables for specific electronic flash units required.
Radio Receiver RR-32
Thirty-two digitally coded channels provide added security in high radio interference environments, preventing false or missed triggering. Its unique features such as "Quad Triggering"(selective triggering of individual/groups of electronic flash units) offers the photographer creativity control and performance even in the most challenging photographic assignments. (The first four channels of the RR-4 are compatible with the first four channels of the RR-32).
Step Up Ring
For attaching filters to the front of the lens (up to 40.5mm filter).Also acts as a lens hood preventing erroneous light measurements caused by lens glare.
