Info

Lightmeter from around middle 20th century made by Gossen. With the rolleau cover closed, intenden for measuring incident light, and for measuring reflected light with the cover open.

The ASA setting (12 to 800) is done via a knob on the side of the device.

A small lid on the other side can be flipped open to reveal a color finder where the different reds can be compared with the reference red. As such with the help of the filter table on the back, the correct colour filter can be determined.

The holding chain goes through a hole in the leather case to avoid losing the case.
