How to Use an Analogue LIGHT METER: Hanimex Sekonic L-8b for film photography
Ғылым және технология
A tutorial of how to use an analogue Hanimex Sekonic L-8b light meter for film photography. These old light meters are a great way to double-check the exposure when taking photographs, and work especially well with film cameras that only have basic in-built meters.
If you want to learn how to meter for film photography, this video will give you a quick lesson on how to approach deciding which metering method is best, depending on your situation. Metering for film photography is notoriously difficult, so this should act as a first introduction to the different methods.
The Hanimex Sekonic L-8b is a great way into analogue metering, as it can be found very cheap and doesn't require any batteries - just another reason to get started with film photography.

No problem - it’s not too bad once you get the hang of it all!

Same here! Finally! Thanks a bunch 😊
love the humour :)
The music on this video is so loud, you can wake up the neighborhood. So you turn the volume way down then you can't hear anything ?
That was fun. I'm off to the junk shop....
One thing you didn't make clear was the needle as at the top of the wiggly lines. You follow to the bottom of the wiggly line and that's where you line up the red or blue double marker. I have one of these and it's still spot-on after probably fifty years of being shielded from light when not being used, in its closed case, then in a bag, or a drawer.
mix your audio correctly please! I was trying to listen to your talking and the intro blew out my eardrums
