A Measured Response…
Sekonic are the most prominent light and flash meters available in the UK. At least, certainly since the demise of Minolta and it’s range.
There are certainly some fine prodcuts in the line-up.
And for those contemplating a purchase, there is now an extended warranty included by the UK distributers. Here are the details:
All UK Sekonic Meters Will Now Carry A 5 Year Warranty

With immediate effect, all Sekonic meters supplied via JP Distribution and its authorised UK dealer network, will carry a 5 year warranty.
JP Distribution and its in-house service partner, JP Service Solutions, will now honour a 5 year warranty for any UK sourced* meter purchased from May 1st 2012 onwards.
This warranty covers labour and spares for units, which develop any issue due to manufacturers fault or malfunction, but does not cover accidental damage or customer misuse.
Registration for any authorised UK unit must be made via the Sekonic website, www.sekonic.com
*The extended 5 year warranty will only be honoured for units supplied by an authorised UK dealer, where a unit has been registered via the Sekonic website,

Metering & Exposure Course…
One of the key things to master is an understanding of metering and exposure. It is in fact quite an art, and to be honest, is actually one of the areas where often people find things can either go wrong, or certainly from what I see on courses, people do not optomise what can be achieved.
So I am pleased to say that we have a ‘Crash Course Seminar’ on the subject @ Calumet’s London store in Drummond Street taking place on April 2nd. More…
Manchester Bound…
We have two workshops in Manchester coming up soon. Both are taking place at Calumet. On March 13th we have our very popular ‘Mastering Portable (Strobe) Flash’ workshop.

Advanced Portable (Strobe) Flash…
Many Canon and Nikon users in particular, but not exclusively, have enjoyed over the years our ‘Mastering Portable (Strobe) Flash workshops.
This starts from the basics, then moves on too some advanced capabilities, surprising many in it’s scope and the information that sets them up for a lifetime of flash shooting.
I am very pleased to say that the next level, for the advanced enthusiast or pro, is taking place at Park Cameras on Friday (25th November).
Taking a real world approach, using my decades of off camera portable flash as a professional photographer, it is invaluable for those who understand the basics, but want or need to turn that into everyday pro quality results.
Based on real situations, I share lighting knowledge, how I use third party accessories including radio release systems, and light shaping tools to make it all work.
