[DemonWolfe]

does anyone here know what this is, and if its worth anything. was told it might have something to do with old projection equipment or photography equipment, i have no idea. thanks for any help with this

It is a light meter but I don't know what the value of it is. (They were used to manually set the lens on a camera)

 

[DemonWolfe]

thanks, at least now i can look it up and try to find its value if any. it came in a box of junkl that i bought at an auction so any value is better than none.

Not sure if this is the same model as yours, but it looks to be close. It may give you some idea as to the value...hope this helps and have a great day.

I still have an old one laying around here too from the 50's.

The ASA is the speed of the film. The red numbers on the bottom are your "F" stops. Most cameras don't even give you options today.. I say bring back film

I still have two or three of those laying around. Maybe the nieces can take them on Antiques Road Show in fifty years.

Nikon released a new film camera body a few years back. It was about 5K, so, you'd have to be serious about your investment. I have a Rolleiflex (1966) TLR (120 roll film). I seldom shoot film these days.

I had two of them lying around along with my father's old Rolex. I sold the package for
$ 175.00.

Everything was in good working condition, too. The Rolex and it's leather case looked brand new.

Light meters aren't worth much these days, $10-$20 at most. I was a professional photographer for years. I collect vintage cameras now, and see them all the time.

I have an old Eastman. It is in rough shape. Looks like it was made out of a 2x4 piece of lumber. I’ll try to locate it and post a picture. I have about 100 cameras but nothing too special.

No.2A Brownie and what was identified as an Eastman. The Brownie is the one with more “leatherette” still on it. A long ways from Mint!
