I went into a charity shop locally and found these two light meters pictured below - can anyone shed any light on them or how they are used? I'm wondering if I could use one or both of them to help with my when playing around with the manual settings - if they are still relevant to my 300D DSLR!
Blendux Photo-Electric Exposure Meter - Found this in a charity shop in Lichfield, cost me £4.50 - fascinating little item - also came with an instruction book which stated it was for 1/16 or 1/32 sec cine cameras!
Anyone any more info on this?
Bewi Amateur - This I also found in the same charity shop in Lichfield, paid £4.50 for it. If anyone has any more info on this let me know! From what I can gather from Google it dates from about 1951?
This second picture below shows it taking a reading - I've lined up a red 'diamond' on the white dial with exposure settings on - is this how it's used? Is the exposure to be used (according to the meter) 1/5 sec at F8? What does the '6' on the ASA dial mean?
(Taken with my K800i cameraphone in macro mode - takes surprisingly good macro pictures - I'm rubbish at macro pics with my 300D!)
