I think that the Super Pilot uses a Cds cell which requires a battery roughly

I think my Gossens are the regular Pilot: don't need batteries.
Despite being old, they're all within a half-stop of each other,
and meter about like my TTL meters do.
They're not good in dim light. Didn't Gossen market some Pilots
that required a battery and were more sensitive?

Hi, Lon,
I ~think~ the Super Pilot requires a battery, so maybe it is a bit more
sensitive that the Pilot.
They seem a good little meter, from your comment and others, so maybe that'll
be my choice for an inexpensive meter.
thanks,

My earlier post about my old Yashica Mat got me to thinking about light
meters. I currently have an old Weston light meter, that I got for
basically nothing. I really should have something better, but as
always, funds are a consideration.

This is smarter, Fred. TV Contact cleaner usually works better and is
cleaner (from my experience with electronic components ..um, quite some

recommend a trip to Radio Shack for anyone wanting to try this.

I need help with what I hope will be a simple repair. I can not activate
the shutter by pushing down on the shutter release button with out firing

Thanks,
