Since Quality Light Metric closed shop a few years ago there's no one to do the work. Sekonic is still in business, you might want to try to contact the manufacturer.
I was hoping there is someone somewhere that is still servicing these independently. I might have to contact Sekonic as a last resort. Thanks for the suggestion.Since Quality Light Metric closed shop a few years ago there's no one to do the work. Sekonic is still in business, you might want to try to contact the manufacturer.
Sekonic may be able to supply a list of authorized repairers.
I'll save Sirius the trouble - KEH may be another possibility.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Bill. I forgot to mention, it is the spotmeter that is reading incorrectly. Incident meter seems to be fine. In my case, I have never dropped it. It was working fine and was not in use for a couple of months. Started acting weird when I took it out for a shoot. Most readings show E.o or E.u when reading in normal daylight, even when pointed at a gray card. If I don't find anyone to service it, I might open it up and see if something has come loose.Is it the spotmeter that reads incorrectly, the incident meter, or both? I once had to open up my L-758DR after a very short fall in its case (stupid hip-belt case slipped off my belt).
Turns out there is a circuit board plug and I only had to plug it back in.
There's only a handful of screws holding it together.
Good point about Sekonic. I will send an email to KEH to see if they can service it. I forget they are a repair facility also. Thanks.Sekonic may be able to supply a list of authorized repairers.

Spectracine is close to home. I will give them a call tomorrow. Let's see what they charge. Thanks for providing the name.You could try Spectra: http://www.spectracine.com/ But it might end up costing as much as replacing the meter.

I do recall that after George at QLM retired I noticed that Spectra Cine mentioned on their website that they would service many different brands, not just their own.
