I've been using this L-308s for about 3 years, but have recently acquired a Minolta M Spot Meter, and a Sekonic L-408, so something needs to go.

The meter works great, and includes the case, the lumadisc, and case for the lumadisc. I do not have the strap for it, as i either would put it on my belt, or in my pocket. I've used this with studio strobes as well as everyday metering, and it has always been spot on.

There is an issue though. There is some corrosion on the battery contacts that I can't get off. The unit gives me no troubles at all if I'm using an eneloop battery, but I have noticed that if I'm using alkaline (energizer/duracell/etc), it will cut off when a button gets pressed, then you have to turn it back on and it's fine for a few readings. I think it may have to with the age/charge of the battery. I only have eneloops as my rechargeables, so I don't know about other brands.

Price is $100 plus shipping (about $7-$10 anywhere in the US via Priority Mail). I will ship worldwide, but buyer pays shipping and any duties or taxes that may be required. Paypal preferred, but I'll also do a money order.

One can buy battery corrosion cleaning fluid at autoparts stores and from other suppliers - use it with a small stiff brush and it will clean battery contacts right up - not expensive either.

Yes, that is what I would do.
 
What is eneloop battery?

Eneloops are rechargeable batteries made first by Sanyo and now by Panasonic. They're notable for being able to hold their charge for a long length of time (over a year) without the steep discharge most rechargeable exhibit. I've bought several packs for use with speed light flashes and I never have to worry again about whether the batteries in a given flash still have any juice left in them.
Amazon and other retailers sell them, as does Costco.
