Samsung Laptop 208

The JBL 208 is light enough to be portable and sounds great and easy to setup and operate.

I always choose samsung ssd's for upgrades for the speed, quality & price even on lower end laptop upgrades.

Connected a Levono laptop to a Samsung monitor and it worked perfectly. Buy one!

I got it for my laptop which has 2 SSD slots, It's very fast and even my other SSD is a Samsung one, never faced any problems with SSD

Read and Write speeds of average READ Speed 208 Mbps and WRITE 206 Mbps... Speed tested with Black Magic Speed Test. iMac 2012 I7 with Fusion Drive.

I've been using a Shure SM57 for as a podcast mic, and honestly for $100 that thing is great. THIS microphone is on a whole other level. The versatility of the mic is a huge plus, with low pass and high pass filter options, you can get really close to the sound of an RE20. I bought an RE20 and this mic at the same time to see which one would be best for podcasting. My conclusion is if you want a mic JUST for spoken word, I think the RE20 should be your go to. It's several hundred dollars cheaper, and I think it gets amazing sound. Doesn't need much EQ in post. However if you want a mic that captures clarity like a condenser, this will obviously be a better choice. The noise rejection is great on the LS-208, maybe not quite as good as the RE20 but it is amazing for a condenser. I have it set with a 9k LP and 50HZ HP for podcasting and it sounds absolutely incredible. I also record music, mostly acoustic guitar and vocals. This thing EXCELS for both. Did a side by side with RE20 for music, and while the vocals sound pretty good on an RE20, the acoustic guitar sounds pretty awful. The LS-208 sounds worlds better. Which makes sense with it being a condenser. So someday I'd like to have both the RE20 and the LS-208 in my mic locker, but for now, it's LS-208 all the way. No regrets!

This was the first handheld meter I ever used. I borrowed it from my friend's father along with his Hasselblad camera. Here, years later, I am a working photojournalist and I went and bought the meter that I used when I first fell in love with photography. I am a strong believer in handheld meters. I use them for my old unmetered cameras, as well when shooting new digital cameras. I own this meter (L-398A), along with the L-208, and L-358. I love how this meter doesn't need batteries to operate, came with a really carrying/belt case, and that it came perfectly calibrated (within 1/3 stop on some tests I did). For beginners, I would recommend the L-208, it's cheaper, smaller, and I think easier to read. The L-398A can do more, and is a more robust meter, but for casual use, and with film the L-208 is plenty capable. If you are planning on shooting with flash and strobe, this meter won't help. Likewise, if you are mainly shooting in really low light, a digital meter might better serve your needs. However, this is THE METER I grab when shooting my old Nikon F2s and my Leica cameras. One note: this meter used to be made in Japan, but the current model is made in the Philippines. Qualitywise, I don't think there is really a difference but just something I noticed when looking at the back of the meter.

My old Gossen Pilot died so I decided on the L-208 as a replacement. I had seen a Youtube review which mentioned a measurement difference of one stop between the L-208 and another meter, but I ordered it anyway. I tested the meter against my iPhone light meter app and sure enough there was a one stop difference. However, electronics being what it is, I tested the L-208 against the meter in my Nikon FM and there was only about a one-third stop difference. Not an issue. The best way to using any light meter is to take enough images with your camera(s) and determine what works best for the individual camera you are using. It is like making tests to get the correct film developer, film iso settings and timing and temperature to get what you want on an image from the film stock you are using. I think the meter is a great replacement for my old Gossen.

For $208 Canadian, all in, this is worth every penny! It has everything you need to get an indie film gaffers kit for corporate gigs, interviews, and even short or full form narrative. Warning: you will need more c stands or regular stands and arms and or knuckles, to hold all these flags/scrims. Just a heads up! That being said, I will buy another set, and probably gift a couple sets to some of my indie filmmaking friends. They are working out great for my small projects.

I purchased this Sekonic L-308X-U to replace an old L-208 with a sticky needle. In fact, the L-208 works fine if you remember to shake the needle loose, but it was time for an upgrade. I have a variety of older film cameras, many with no metering or meters of unknown accuracy. I've been able to make great images using the L-308X-U. It' does a lot more than my older meter and I haven't yet learned all the ins and outs, but I'm very happy with this purchase.
