Just got SEKONIC L-758C, just wondering if there is any red epic profiles online which I can just download and load it in.

From my experience working SEKONIC L-758C with Red One i did not use a Profiles for it . Once i try to do a custom profile , but that using standard profile on Sekonic as it is . I was changing ISO on light meter , when set of Tungsten int , ISO on light meter was 160 ISO , ili hight light ext ISO was 400 . Now with Epic situation is same .
 
Looks like we might have to take the time and profile the camera ourselves… Vigen are you saying that profiling didn't work, or that the baseline of the L-758 is just fine?

i think you are suppose to get the benefit of the lightmeter having profile of your latitude. surely that is a benefit.
One curious thing is that when I set my light meter to iso 800 and fps 25 (which is what I am using on my RED epic), the f-stops vaules which it gives seems to give me underexposed images.
Is there something wrong which I have done?

Same experience here. So I always tend to open up 1/2-1 stop while looking at the histogram to prevent highlight clipping.
 
I never set any of my cameras, always use my SEKONIC L-758C as a fast way to get a good starting point to set lighting and Exposure,
before starting playing with ND's and my Most trusted Camera Histogram... ;)

But it would not be a bad thing to have if some one was to come up with a Setting to align the Exposure of the Epic to that of the SEKONIC L-758C... ;)

I agree. Someone should start a database of profiles.
 
I find my Sekonic 758c to be spot on if I use ISO 320 on the meter and ISO 800 on the Epic/Scarlet. I too found the meter to be a stop and some change off when set to ISO 800. If I adjust the ISO up or down from ISO 800 on the camera, I will adjust the light meter up or down accordingly. Trying to wrap my head around why this is, but I'm having trouble finding a way to explain my thoughts. Is it as simple as... RAW is roughly ISO 320 and the camera is recording RAW, hence the meter set to ISO 320? Can anyone explain this in a simple way?
 
Hello to every body, this this my first post!!
i've just bought a sekonic L758 and i want to calibrate it, but i would save 150€ of chart... does someone got the dragon STH and LLO profil?
Thanks!!!
