Dear all, I have found an used gossen Sixtino II (Pilot II in the US) for 49 EUR in a shop, with neither case nor any accesories. My questions are: • How do those old selenium meters age? • Will it be unusable or I can try to calibrate it with a newer model I borrow? • Does it add anything to my setup (D200, SB800) or I am better off buying a gray card and metering it with my bulit-in meter?

• Any other cheap/used meter you would recommend instead? Download Game Plant Vs Zombie Mod Pokemon. Or more in general: Do you agree with what Gossen states regardling the 'still valid' need to buy a light meter? When I finally started putting all my long research about Hollywood-style portraiture to use with continuous lighting, I pulled out a couple of old selenium light meter myself.

I have a couple of them. An old Gossen Scout and a Sekonic L-158. I ran tests on them using a halogen flood on a dimmer control and a grey card, comparing them both against the in-camera meter. All three were amazing right on with each other. Nasa World Wind Virtual Earth Download here. I've not read anything about them 'aging'.

And I've always appreciated the fact that they do not require batteries which themselves might age, leak, die, or become obsolete. Durufle Prelude Fugue Alain Pdf To Jpg. If, for some reason, the model you have appears not to be accurate at a given ISO, simply compensate with a change in the ISO. Now, I'll have to admit that my own need to renew the use of a light meter like this is somewhat specialized. And I cannot think of many situations in which a modern shooter would benefit from their use. In studio situations, flash is most common today, and a flash meter is required for that type of thing.

So unless you, too, are engaging in a specialized area that specifically benefits from a meter light these, I'd say it's not really necessary for you. Generally, photographers do NOT carry these things around.

This is, I assume, an ambiant light meter for taking pictures in daylight and with indoor constant lights, rather than a flash meter. I think there are some brand new ambiant light meters for about this price, and I suggest new beats old.

(meters for flash and ambiant b oth cost more) Yes, there are lots of times an ambiant light meter is useful for a serious photographer. Dependng on what you shoot, you might use the handheld meter fairly often, or rarely. In the Pro forum today there's a picture a woman took of a bride in the shade, and her dress is too bright on one side of the brame. This is the kind of shot where a handheld incident light meter (the kind with a white dome) would be useful. Millions of photographers get along without a handheld meter --me, for the past year, included -- but I intend to replace my broken meter soon, mostly for flash but sometimes for daylight.
