Weston Electric ad, circa 1952

I didn't start out collecting light meters; they just sort of showed
up, usually in a gadget bag with a camera or a box of junk that I
bought by the pound at a flea market.

When I started listing meters on my Camera Collection site, I was
surprised to see how little information there was about them. So this
is my collection, my little corner for remembering a largely
forgotten and overlooked area of photography.
