The world’s first multi-function light meter that can be programmed to match the sensitivity of digital still camera sensors or types of film for perfect exposure control. Since no two digital cameras, camera and light meter or different types of films are likely to agree on exactly the same exposure, they need to be matched to one standard. Sekonic has recognized the need for this and created the first programmable light meter. The L-758Cine can compensate for variation in exposure accuracy caused by different ISO settings, light sources, measuring methods and even file formats. In addition, the dynamic range of a camera sensor can be stored and displayed on the meter’s LCD screen.
In addition to its special cine capabilities, the L-758Cine includes a unique flash/ambient analyzing mode, which simultaneously reads both flash and ambient light automatically, and can display combined flash/ambient readings, percentage of flash in the total exposure, and simultaneous display of flash, ambient, and combined readings on an analog scale. It also reads in shutter-priority, aperture priority, or EV modes, and makes cumulative readings in both cord and cordless mode.
PocketWizard ready. With optional plug-in PocketWizard module, the meter becomes nothing less than a Master Control Center that allows you to trigger individual PocketWizard-equipped still cameras or electronic flash units remotely, using a 16/24-bit, security-encoded digital signal.
Cokin Circular Polarizer is a must have for all cokin filter users. Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camara lens.
· They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc.
· They also saturate colors and increase contrast.
· Polarizers come in two variations but have the same effect. Linear polarizers work with older camera meters; circular polarizers are designed for today’s newer slpit-beam metering systems used in auto focus cameras; check your camera’s manual.
Use the CZ164 Circular Polarizer on multiple lenses up to 96mm with Cokin’s quick change modular holder system.
The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the new ELECTRONIC FLASH EF-530 DG ST. The Sigma EF-530 DG ST features a powerful Guide Number of 53 and is designed to work with the latest TTL auto exposure systems of all popular manufacturers’ digital and film SLR cameras. It features TTL automatic flash exposure control for easy operation. The auto zoom function automatically sets the optimum illumination angle in accordance with the lens’ focal length in a range from 24mm to 105mm. When the built-in Wide Panel is used, the flash can cover the angle of 17mm.For bounce flash, the flashgun head can be tilted up by 90 degrees, to the left by 180 degrees, or to the right by 90 degrees. It can also be tilted down by 7 degrees allowing ease of use for close-up photography. In addition to automatic mode, the flashgun also features a manual flash mode, making it possible to set the flash power level to full or 1/16. When the flashgun is fully charged, a confirmation ‘ready’ light will be emitted and the flash exposure level can be checked through the cameras viewfinder. Other features incorporated into this flashgun include the Auto Power-Off function to help save battery power.

The Monostat RS16K Carbon Fiber All-Round Monopod is an “all-around” mid-range monopod constructed of carbon fiber material, and offers ultra-steady positioning due to its unique “Swivel Toe Stabilizer” foot. Due to the ball-socket friction-bearing design of the foot, involuntary movements around the longitudinal axis of the leg are prevented while obtaining smooth motion in the horizontal axis for the purpose of following moving objects, or shooting panoramic views. This ensures steady shots even in the most extreme telephoto positions.
• Carbon fiber materials are very shock and vibration absorbent, but still relatively lightweight
• Steady shots up to a 60° angle to the horizontal
• Stabilization in the vertical and horizontal axes
• Enables shooting on slippery surfaces, such as marble or ice, and from moving vehicles
• Made in Switzerland
