A look at 2 quite different light meters. A modern Sekonic L-208 and a vintage Kodalux L.

Nice. I have an old Vivitar Model 43 light meter. It still works and it's about 37 years old. Uses a single Silver Oxide cell. It uses a CdS sensor. It doesn't hold a reading, it's a match needle meter. It does have an incident diffuser or reflective slider as does the Sekonic. Cost about $20 usd at the time.

I've just bought my first Nikon F with the eye level prism from 1968. I realize now that I'll need a light meter unless I plan to eye ball my exposures. What kind of meter would you recommend to pair with this kind of camera? Vintage or more modern reader?

More modern will be more accurate. You could even try an app on your phone.

@@Samsung9alaxy Thanks. I opted for a Voigtlander light meter in the end. Sticking it to the hot shoe adapter and works like a dream.

Roman More It depends on which camera you choose and how you want to use it as they should all give similar readings, assuming they are working correctly!

The Kodalux is at least 60 years old; selenium meter cells that old will often be dead. A large percent of the Kodalux meters will be dead or inaccurate. They cannot be repaired. They were made for Kodak by Gossen. As a class, selenium cell meters, particularly the ones with tiny cells, will not read dim light. Overall, buy the Sekonic to use; buy the Kodalux to add to a Retina collection (as I did, and yet mine still works - more or less).
