Film vs Digital How Does A 50 Year Old Light Meter Stack Up

[@JasonRowPhotography]

Have you ever shot using a handheld light meter? What was your experience?

I used a Weston Master V in the early 1980´s, it died. Now I own a Weston Master IV, TWO V and two Euro-Master which all died ! Thigh it is a precise light meter I will not recommed it ! I can recommend the later versions of Calcu-Light light meters and Gossen Variosix F2 light meter.

What happened to your Westons? There's not very much that can go wrong with them

Great video Jason. I really enjoyed that. Very informative and gives me reassurance that using my Weston Masters with my old film cameras is still valid.

[@JasonRowPhotography]

Glad you enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised at how close the Weston was to the Fuji in these conditions. Will definitely be using mine more

Nice test Jason. Old tech is surprisingly effective till today.

[@JasonRowPhotography]

Thanks, yes I was very surprised at how well the Weston performed

Great video! I inherited the Euro Master and intend to take it for a spin on my next photographic outing. Just subscribed.

[@JasonRowPhotography]

Enjoy, I inherited mine too, and still have fun using it

Weston handbook recomends for reflective reading to hold meter angled slightly down to exclude some sky for a better reading for the subject. When using the invercone if your subject is in the same light as you are standing then no need to run up to take a reading, just turn your back to subject and point meter towards camera position.

Thanks for the info. I didn’t have a manual but am sure I can find a printed on on eBay

Came here to say the same thing. When shooting landscape quite often the same light is falling where I am to where it is miles away. Incident is also great for metering under the shade if you want to also expose for shade in the distance. I use a master V meter.
