How much is a used light meter?
I have an old Russian fully manual camera from the 1940’s that I want to use but I need a light meter to get accurate exposures. How much does a used one cost at pawn shops, ebay etc.?
You should be able to get one for $50.00. Be wary of buying them on eBay. Repair shops see these all the time. They’re one of the most common things to break or fall out of specification in used cameras when they’re integrated.
Make sure the meter is accurate and purchased with some sort of guarantee. Either that, or get it checked out and/or repaired at a shop after purchase. Caveat emptor, though. Not all can be repaired.
