These two passed their dynamic testing with flying colors! Both of them are over 50 years old which makes that so much more impressive. The sekonic is easy to use if a bit finicky with the different settings for when the 2 light sensors are used. The weston uses Weston Emulsion rating numbers, which on my meter is about half the ISO number. I tested them against a Canon DSLR and while they didn't agree every time, the test shots with the handheld meter settings always turned out great. How will I choose which meter to use when? Mostly aesthetics but also the Weston is a lot bigger and heavier than the sekonic. I think I'll use the sekonic with Japanese cameras and the Weston with cameras made in the USA. My polaroid 110a however matches the aesthetic of the sekonic better despite being made in the USA 🤷‍♂️.

I always put focus on the cameras that I use (and their influence on the outcome) but this light meter right here goes through it all. Time to give it some of the spotlight.

Went up to Table Mountain today, and tried out my new lens! Some pics were a bit weirdly lighted cuz it was hard to see my light meter, but they still turned out fantastic! I’ll see about sharing more later, but that’s all for now.
