Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is sekonic.com legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns sekonic.com?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for sekonic.com. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.

Sekonic.com this link provide us sekonic light meters
Sekonic manufactures light meters and exposure measurement instruments for photography and cinematography. Established in 1951 as Seiko Electric Industries Co., Ltd., the company introduced the Sekonic P-1 exposure meter and operates from Elmsford, New York.
We withhold an authority number until independent evidence (global rank, link-graph presence) has accrued. The facts we do have about this site are shown below — we'd rather say “not enough signals yet” than invent a low score.
Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 60 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 60 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
No caution flags in the available scoring observations; this is not a complete safety assessment
