Sekonic L-478DR still relevant a decade on?

Hand held light meters relevance may been less common with photographers but they arguably still have a niche, particular in studio/flash applications. Certainly the availability of new light meters on is infrequent, with Sekonic being the only real players left in the market with their L-308, L-478 and L-858 series. The mid range L478 was release ~2012 with a touch screen but how does it fare a decade on?

Light meters: A Throw-Back or Is it Worth It?

In answering the Q myself: worth it!!

Recently got myself a(n old Minolta IVF) light meter after a friend at work brought his meter in. And, I've gotta admit, using a meter and hitting an exposure dead on (mostly) first time is kinda addictive.

But, how do we use a light meter exactly?
