I am looking to buy a light meter but am pretty happy with an old fashioned one that doesn't have fandangled functions. If they could make mamiya and hasselblad cameras back in the day, they must have been able to make high quality light meters as well.
Can someone give me some clues on the high quality ones?
Bear_music??? perhaps you have some knowledge here?

flash ? ambient ? spot ?
i have a gossen that i picked up off ebay 2 yrs ago .. (don't remember the model )
works well enough (double triggers the flash pretty often .. switch needs to be debounced )

is your gossen a reflective meter then?
I am hoping for an ambient meter, but perhaps those came out later or are really pricey.

it has a little sliding window buble for ambient / reflective
it will do flash measures as well
as far as age - my guess would be mid 80's (just looked it up on gossens site '83, model MasterSix ) |

Believe it or not the light meter listed above is pretty simple and old. I use another version although it is a Soligor. I think Ansel Adams used a modified Pentax V. |
