I have an old Gossen Super Pilot light meter that appears to be in

have never used a light meter of any kind. Surprisingly, there are
several of these available on e-Bay, one claiming that it is a useful
device, the other considering it a collectable at best.


It's pretty cool looking so I won't toss it in any case, but does it
have any practical usefulness in today's world?

Put it away somewhere nice and safe together with your slide rule etc.
You never know when these things might come back into fashion.

My old Weston is nestled down between my K&E slide rule and my Dietzgen
drafting instruments--the start of a museum for my grandchildren.

We still have a Gossen Luna Pro, and I use it when I use one of our
old film cameras without a meter. Too good to retire it to the
ancient artifacts shelf!
