Sekonic Light Meter repair

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Large format photography : One Thread

Well, they don't make them like they used to. My 35 year old Sekonic Studio Incident Light Meter started lying to me yesterday. Needle looks like it is hanging up. Anybody repair these for less than an arm and leg?

I'd second the Quality Light Metric suggestion, they've fixed things fast and well for me many times.

You could try Sekonic themselves, or their importer.

Assuming you're referring to what was originally the Norwood Director, as of 4/99 MAC's repair price was $58-$76 for an L-398 and $67-$96 for the earlier L-28C.

If you're in the US, call up Mamiya America at 914-347-3300 for current info.

I have an L-28 that's doing the same thing but I think I'm going to just replace it with a new small "featureless" meter, which is relatively inexpensive.
