Hello

I have a Sekonic L-398 and the front dial suddenly came loose from the light meter body. I have been slightly loose for a while but just became separated from the body.


Looking at the light meter body I figured out that 2 screws hold the dial on the transparent front face so I may be able to attach it with no problem.


The problem part is that a washer came out of the body and not sure where it should be attached

Is anyone aware of a part diagram/ repair manual?

Been looking since yesterday but all I could find was user manuals.


I have another one that is pretty inaccurate but still have the dial attached, Probably I could disassembly that one but would prefer if a diagram shows where the washer supposed to be.


Thanks

I suggest the Sekonic repair place or if Sekonic will not handle it for some reason KEH.com.

Thanks for reply. Just disassembled and found that washer was mean to be used on the screw that holds the faceplate:

Reassembled and it is working correctly now.

Best regards.
