In the sales pitch for the Sekonic Light Master Pro L-478(DR), they make claim that this meter will adjust the E640's ***the same*** as the CyberCommander.

Or am I delusional ? Because that's the way I read it and see it in the videos. Has Paul reached some kind of agreement with Sekonic ?

I have a 758DR and use it regularly. I would like this feature if they aren't telling porky pies.

No agreement with Sekonic. They're working from with LPA and the MC2 I would think. Have no idea if or how well it works.

It appears the Sekonic L-478DR is able to control flash power over a range of +/- 3 stops; the same as the AC3 Zone Controller. In other words, it would not be able to control power output of an Einstein over its full 9 stop range.

They basically stuffed a PW TT transmitter into it.
There's actually a version of that transmitter for your 758DR as well, but it won't remotely control power IIRC.
