Shops Gossen Luna Pro Hand Held Light Meter

Product Name: Shops Gossen Luna Pro Hand Held Light Meter
Fully functioning and maintained in excellent condition. Batteries included This originally came out as the Lunasix in 1961, but Gossen eventually redressed and rebadged it in the USA as the Luna Pro. It sold (with various tweaks and alterations) until it was replaced by the sbc model in the late 70s. Quite a long run for a meter. This was one of the first CdS meters to hit the shops market and it made a huge splash. Modern Photography's review said it was the most accurate across the scale, and it was great in low-light--two big drawbacks for selenium cell meters. The fact that it took batteries wasn't seen as a big deal. I wasn't a big fan of Gossen's selenium meters, but the more I see of their later designs, the more impressed I am. This one has a big, easy to read face and calculator dial. I didn't need to read the manual to figure it out. It's not beautifully styled, but it's clean and easy and it works really well. It looks like the design engineers really honed and refined it.
