from Simon's Camera Holly Summary: I love this meter! It is more than weatherproofed! While shooting in Yosemite for a week with my 4x5 and my Nikon Dslr, I accidentally dropped my L358 meter in the Merced River and chased it about 10 ft down the river. I didn't want to try turning it on after being submerged in the river so I dryed it with a cloth, removed the battery and let it dry in the sun for an hour. It did look dry inside I will say. anyway, after allowing to dry, turned it on and it worked perfect. I'm sure I could have turned it on and used it while it was wet, but since it said it was only weatherproof, I didn't want to take a chance. Anyway, I won't be scuba diving with it but I am not going to worry about it getting wet in a rainstorm or in the snow.
I did get the transmitter module with the purchase and I just recently got the PW Multimax triggers and they work great together. This is after I wasted $80 on two sets of those worthless cheapo radio triggers found on feebay. Those things worked okay for the first few times and got worse and worse until they wouldn't fire at all. Strengths: Fair price, top quality, accurate, weatherproof, PW trigger, expandability and lightweight. Weaknesses: Case should be designed to hold the reflected light module.
