Frequently asked questions
Do I need a light meter for a vintage camera?
Many older cameras, such as mechanical rangefinders, medium format cameras and early SLRs, have no meter or one that is no longer reliable. A handheld meter gives a correct reading with any camera and can also measure the light falling on your subject, which helps with backlight and other tricky situations. Even if your camera has a working meter, a handheld meter is a useful check.
What is the difference between selenium and CdS light meters?
A selenium meter generates its own power from light, so it needs no battery. It works best in daylight and moderate light. A CdS meter runs on a battery and is more sensitive in low light. Some older CdS meters were designed for mercury cells that are no longer sold; check the product description to see which battery a meter uses.
