Lighting / Re: Perplexed on Aperture Choosing with Sekonic Meter

When shooting strobes in studio, I would always try to aim for f/8 to f/11.  Your lenses are at there sharpest around those figures. Tbh I can't see why you want to shoot at f/4?
Set your camera to f/8, set shutter speed and use the 358 to ascertain the strobe out put to match.

I would not get the new 600, for the same price I can get a set of Bowens strobes ! not the same I know but I just think the price is way over the top.
I have the Metz 58 AF-2 and it is great ! very easy to use and it has an advantage over the 580 in that it has a secondary flash.
I has a great strobe function, modelling light feature and is very well built. Metz are after all one of the better know makers of flash units.
I have owned the 580, but the Metz has more functions for less money.
