Master V Light Meter with Original Leather Case Model 748
Bring classic analog precision to your camera bag or studio display with this vintage Weston Master V (Model 748) universal exposure light meter. Released in the 1960s and manufactured in England, this heavy-duty, iconic piece of photographic history was celebrated by professional filmmakers and photographers for its incredible accuracy and rugged build.
Because it utilizes a built-in selenium cell to measure light intensity, this completely mechanical instrument requires absolutely no batteries to operate. It features a dual-range high/low light scale button on the reverse and a rotating calculator dial on the front to effortlessly translate light readings into perfect f-stop and shutter speed combinations. It comes beautifully protected in its original embossed, velvet-lined brown leather snap case with an integrated neck strap.
