While I don’t claim to be up to date with all of the differences, there are some things to be aware of. The first being that you have not mentioned the L-608 which is a fine meter, and maybe the best in this progression.

This is a really quick breakdown and since I don’t know your priorities I won’t presume to recommend any. Having said that, there are two things which made the L-608 stand out for me when I was shopping them.

The 608 has a variable spot angle, memory of up to 9 readings, and an internal display in the spot viewfinder. None of the others feature all of those attributes. I also own a 758 and find its complexity completely unnecessary, but others may think otherwise. My only criticism of this line is they are huge to carry and use, but that is due to the spot meter capability.

L-508 Zoom spot 1-4 degree, not able to take PW transmitter, memory=3 readings

L-558 fixed 1 degree spot, reading displayed in spot viewfinder, Optional Pocket Wizard radio transmitter, memory=9 readings

L-608 Zoom spot 1-4 degree, reading displayed in spot viewfinder, Optional Pocket Wizard radio transmitter, memory=9 readings

L-758 fixed 1 degree spot, reading displayed in spot viewfinder, built-in Pocket Wizard radio transmitter, internal display, memory=9 readings. This meter got significantly more technical with software, etc. Too may details to enumerate.

Ross, just noticed your response. Thank you for providing such a detailed analysis. Funny I ended up getting a L-608.
