Hi Shel, Mine is a Weston Master V. It is about 3x2x1inches (in its leather case!) and has another case about 1x1x0.5 with the invercone in. Analogue display, of course, and a lanyard to hold the whole caboodle round one's neck. Two exposure ranges, differentiated by using a flap over the cell window. Unlock the mechanism to read, let go and the reading is locked. You need to watch out that older models use a Weston scale, about 1/3 of a stop slower than ASA/DIN.
Cost me �50 in a box with an immaculate (appearance wise) Rolliecord Va, a mickey mouse(tm) enlarger (Gnome - anyone remember them?) and various other bits of darkroom stuff. Servicing the Rolliecord shutter cost more.... If I use the Weston with slide film I get exposures as I wanted them to turn out. Can't say more than that. http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=000YSD http://www.creativedialog.com/WebHelp/classiccameras/meters.htm (has a source of spares) http://www.acecam.com/message/3951.html (repairs) http://www.johndesq.com/2000/exposure.htm (pictures) http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/v01/topics10.html [8-) search for weston] http://www.digistar.com/rollei/1999-09/0164.html (spare invercones) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02167.html (about repairing) Hope all this helps. m - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
