Weston Light Meter

A while back, on a visit to the wonderful West Yorkshire Cameras I picked up Weston Euro-Master light meter. The main reason I bought it was that when I was a young chap learning how to take photographs this was the absolute bees-knees in light metering. I didn’t think I’d have a use for it, but I really fancied owning one. And it was only a few quid.

I’ve got a use for it now though. I can use it as a “sanity check” with the MintTL70. I can get an idea of the state of the light before picking the aperture value and taking a shot. This will stop me doing silly things, like taking pictures where the exposure is so long that you get camera shake.

If you are thinking that all I’ve done with this is find a way of making photography harder and much more expensive you are completely right. But I’m having a lot of fun.
