Sekonic L-308S calibration?, no "viewfinder"

[Joel Arvidsson]

Hi Im looking to get my first light meter. Im wondering if the Sekonic L-308S can be calibrated or not. If not how much of a problem is this. Also it does not have a "viewfinder" so I guess its kind of hard to know what your aiming it while using it as a spot meter.

I want to use it for filming, not just stillimages. Is this lightmeter a good choice? or does it miss something essential?

IIRC the L-308S is not a spotmeter, it's incident only, therefore you don't need to aim at anything.

Ah, then it is no use to check the evenness of a greenscreen. I was thinking to use it mostly to check ratios and set midtones, etc. but no spot metering is quiet a loss.
