Q: 5. The L-208 comes with a flash shoe mount. Does this come with one and/or have an easy method of mounting it to a flash shoe?

A: The 398 was never designed to be used mounted on a camera. It has a metal body and a large magnet in it that is actually not a great thing to have around any digital recording devices.

The 398 is a very traditional meter that is modeled after one of the very first light meters and first incident measuring meter.

Q: 9. I have read the manual and Sekonic says that this meter must be kept away from floppy disks and similar materials. Does this include SD cards? If so, how would one do so.?

A: Floppy disks and SD cards use totally different technologies to record data. SD cards, USB sticks, and SSD's are NOT affected by magnets like floppy disks. You can safely store SD cards around the meter.

Q: 10. Does anyone know if the selenium diode in the meter wears out.Or, can it last for 30+ years?

A: Over time the meter will need adjustment. Sekonic, and Quality Light Metric, In Hollywood, Ca. are my go to sources for meter repair/cell replacement. Leaving the meter in the unlocked mode, and in the case, when not in use should extend the service life for many years.
