Title: What is this thing I have found in the loft.
Post by: mrs bouquet on March 20, 2019, 12:49

It is in a old leather case, all lined with purple velvet.   It says on it Weston Master 111.   Universal Exposure Meter.  It has a red needle which must go up from 25 to 1600.  Below that it has  that looks a bit like an old fashioned timer for turning your light on.  In the middle of that it says Exposure Value.  On the back of the gadget it says Distributed by Sangamo Weston, Ilford.     Any info, please, ?  Mrs Bouquet

It's a Light Meter that used in Photography, the exposure value is what would be set on the camera.

Thanks for your answers,  but I am disappointed, I thought I was going to amass thousands, especially as I am just looking to book my 2021 cruise.    (yes honest, 2021)   :lol:  Mrs Bouquet
