You more than likely already have a good meter in your camera, but there are benefits to owning a separate meter. While this model is more expensive than Sekonic's best selling L-308B, the comfort and flexibility of the swivel head is more than enough to make up for the price hike.
It's so nice to have a 1 degree spot but it does make the meter quite bulky. I carry it around with the lumisphere installed and change it out for the spot meter when required.
I do cinematography work and this spot attachment worked great. The only problem is the attachment is very large and becomes a burden. If the size does not bother you then the attachment works very well.
If you have the L-358 and a job that requires shooting a figure from the stands, this is the tool that will make the first shot count.
Bought for landscape photography. It works extremely well, and has nice glass. Construction is very nice too-has a good heft to it. The metering in my Nikon D80 is decent, but for spot on awesome results I use the Sekonic L-358 with the 1 Degree Viewfinder. No complaints what so ever.
For those tricky multiple flash shots. Unfortunately your flash has to deliver at least f8 at the subject when using the 1 degree viewfinder with the L-358. The 5 & 10 degree viewfinders can meter flash from f2.8 to f124. The 1 degree is the most precise if you have the light.

I read that this attachment is too bulky, but I thought I would give it a try and I'm glad I did. Let's face it photography is a bulky hobby unless you're taking point and shoot images (nothing wrong with them), on which case you don't need a light meter. Get it, it's great!
This is what the L-358 was missing. I was used to the 1 deg. spot metering on an L-558R. This makes the L-358 suitable for any situation.
This is great spot attachment for my Sekonic L-358 meter. At first I wasn't sure I was going to like it because I was so used to the in-camera meter. After some internet research about using a hand-held spot meter and the need to take several readings of a scene, a little practice, I am quite...
