Bravo, a straight-forward no nonsense explanation. I just acquired a vintage Rolleiflex, no meter and used this video to reacquaint myself with a Sekonic, Tundra I purchased 40+years ago. Many Thanks! Cheers!

I expected delivery today of a vintage Sekonic meter bundled with a 1960's 35mm Konica purchased on Ebay. Never having used a meter before, I found and watched your video this morning. When I received delivery this afternoon, I was surprised to find an Auto Lumi L-86! I took this as a sign. Subscribed!

This is such a great explanation of a tool that I know has at least fallen out of use in much of archaeological photography - I wish I'd had one during my PhD, now, as that would have been nicer than figuring it out as I went!

In camera technology has meant that it's fallen out of use full stop. However whilst using film, a backup is always useful. Thanks for the support.

Super helpful! You mentioned that for this model, it has to be around 4inches of range. what I'll be using it for taking landscape photos? Will it still be accurate?
@sccjono

Great to hear it was of use. Not as accurate no. It will certainly be giving you a reading of the light near the camera, but this might not be the same as what is being reflected off the scene. So basically, it may work, but it may not. My advice would be to get a second opinion from one of the many free phone apps that turn your phone in to a light meter.

Nice short video. However, this is only part of the story. I have yet to see a video that explains the relationship between measuring reflected light, exposure, and film processing. Also the rendition of different colors into shades of gray by different b&w films can be important.

so, are there three wheels and three windows that indicate the numbers? I would like to also ask about the distance to hold the meter when measuring the light. Thanks.

Just two wheels. The three windows are to show three different ways to measure film speed. ASA, DIN & EV.

Hi, I tried to work with my light meter on EV (for the fist time)and my Hasselblad 500. The measuring gave me 14 EV! Then I put 14 on my Camera . But what I don’t understand how do I know my aperture and speed in EV MODE? I Don’t understand the logic of EV settings on my camera? I know EV 0 would be the correct exposure. But why did it indicated me 14 only with indicating 200 asa on my light meter. Thanks for helping me out.

Hi Corinne. Firstly, oh my goodness what a gorgeous camera, I'm very jealous. However I think you're a bit confused as to what EV or Exposure Value is. I will do a video on it soon, but essentially it is a single number that represents both an aperture setting and a shutter speed. EV14 for instance represents 1/500 of a second at f5.6. But it also represents f16 at a speed of 1/60th. If you Google it, you will find lots of tables that can do the conversion for you. I hope this helps.

Is it the same or a similar model to mine? I'll be honest I have never taken it apart but perhaps if you're feeling confident you can try and see if something obvious is preventing it from turning. I think I might try using some lighter fuel initially. Worked in to the space behind the dial as it will clean dirt out and then evaporative. I'm sorry I can't be more help.
