Hand Held Light Meters Leningrad 7 - Weston Master V

I was asked to do a video on Hand Held Light Meters some time ago. I have two a Leningrad 7 and Weston Master V. I have tested them both and they both work well. I am perhaps not the best to make this video but I have used them for over 30 years.

Thanks so much for the light meter. Lesson. For want of a better word. I have both light meters. And now have some idea of how they work. I'll be able to use them now. Great video.

Ah, the Westons. The V would be great if you could if find one that worked. I have an earlier 3 as well. That does work, but I consider it unusable. The dials are cluttered and the figures are so small they are impossible to read.

Thanks. That is so true I got so lucky with mine. I think I have had a few over the years and all of them have worked. Just great to have especially if you are working with medium format. Or like my camera thats light meeter is broken.

@@FilmPhotography I have a Gossen Sixtino that is great. Works really well.

The V is a lovely looking thing. I have one which is a little off in low light but spot on otherwise
