Just wondering what light meters you favour.

I expect the Leningrad 4 to be top of the list, but do you have another favourite.

I use the Leningrad 4 and a Sverdlovsk 4.


Of the two I prefer the Sverdlovsk 4.

Or do you just use the "Sunny 16" rule.

Exactly the "Sunny 16" rule, Will!
The present films are enough tolerant.

I come from the reflex, exactly a Canon F1 with which I have done several thousands of pictures during 30 years. A marvelous tool. But I am very happy to use LTM now: the smell of history...

Amitiés. Jacques.

I use the Leningrad 8 more often, Sunny 16 is not capable of making slides and shooting low sensitive material.

When daylight is gone. I use my Weimar Lux CDS.
