Here's my only one, a Werralux.
It seems to work, but I have not translated the manual which is in German.
Would like to use it one day.

Oh, the Werralux looks neat Wink

Thank you. I received it with a camera I purchased.
I would like to learn how to use it. Are all light meters basically the same in operation?

My old favorite lightmeter, big, but nice to handle.



I had one in the seventies that was destroyed by leaking batteries.
Replaced by a "2" cheaply secondhand.
Powered by 2x AA batteries. Als a result of the system (Wheatstone bridge) no troubles about the kind of batteries and the voltage.
Enough power for the LEDs in the rectangle right and its OK, so I use reloadables.
Metering angle can be chosen between 30, 20 and 10 degrees in the viewfinder. So not a real spotmeter.
