I don't know if there are any collectors of old cameras and or equipment on this site,but I may have the chance to purchase a Leica hand held light meter. I have seen plenty of the on camera meters on Ebay,but not the hand held ones. I'm guessing its around 60 yrs old and the needle seemed to work when I pointed it in the daylight. I haven't found any information on the web yet,but if anyone knows anything please let me know :>)

Yesterday at a garage sale I found what I would call a cache of old cameras,lenses,flash units and all sorts of items. The lady wasn't real sure what she had and as I pulled things out to buy she decided not to sell them just yet. I think her lights were on,but they were getting dim if ya know what I mean. I did purchase a nice Yashica -A twin reflex camera with no mold or scratches on the lenses or view plate. I left her my name,but not hopeful she will call me LOL The leica light meter has to be worth at least $60-$100 if not more.

Most old camera equipment does not carry a big price tag unless you are the guy that just has to have it. I had a collection of Kodak Brownie Box,Polaroid and 120 620,127 bellows type film cameras.gave them away to others who collected. great to look at but not a lot of value..Your light meter I think is high also if you are going to use it TEST it with a modern unit.
