Back in the '70's I bought a Gossen Lunasix 3 light meter. I never had any confidence in it, and could guess the exposure settings more accurately. After a short time I dropped it in the gadget bag and forgot about it until I dug it out the other day. I replaced the batteries and here's what I get - in normal sunlight conditions on reflected light setting, the gauge needle buries itself and gives an exposure recommendation for 100 ISO of something like f11 at 1000/sec. It's spot on (f11 at 1/60) in incident mode. Obviously I should use the incident mode, but can anyone satisfy my curiosity as to why it acts like this?
