I have a late model Euromaster II #99923, purchased new from the factory in 2005. I have a non-working Weston VI that I intend to have repaired as a spare. This is the only light meter that I carry with me in the field. It is dependable, accurate, battery-free and silent. I generally use it in \"incident\" mode with the Invercone in place.

As an aside, my godson hiccups when I use it because that the company that made the meter has the same name as an evil robot from an anime series--\"Megatron\".

The new house I bought came with a Weston Illumination Meter - Model 603. Is it of any use?

I was an electrical apprentice to Sangamo Weston Great Cambridge Road Enfield between 3/9/62 to 1/9/67. I was trained on the design and manufacture of exposure, KWH and measuring instruments. Currently retired and a friend of the Milne electrical collection at Amberley Museum Sussex. I am interested in developing the display of measuring instruments shown at the Milne.

Weston Master II, Model 735, # 7113108, case in VG Cond considering it\'s age. Needle is moving well even in low light. Going back to mainly film for landscape and scenery. Wanted a handheld meter again to check the exposures. I took some of my best pictures with the camera on manual and a meter. I\'ll use my digital for \"fun\" and test shots.
G\'day to all you folks down under, worked in Oz for several years in the 70\'s, many days wished I had stayed for good.

I have a Weston Model 627, the Newark NJ version ... it seems to be in good condition with minor scratches and the screws are untouched showing no one has tried to tamper with it, or open it up.
It doesn\'t seem to give much a reading, the needle will move slightly under bright light, meaning some of the photo cells work. I am wondering if it needs calibration and would like to find a manual. I\'d like to try and get in sowkring condition before I try and sell it..
Any help would be appreciated ..

I have an Weston \"Sight Meter,\" Model 703, \"copyright\" 1934, No. 13625. It\'s in lovely shape, but the photo-electric cell doesn\'t work. The meter works fine (when I put a battery to it). So, here\'s my question --does anyone know if a replacement cell is available? Or, barring that, does anyone know what rating a photocell should have to duplicate the function of the original? The \"Sight Meter\" dial is calibrated from zero (inadequate for critical seeing) to 100 (50 to 100 = severe visual work for long periods). I read somewhere that the calibration refers to \"candle power,\" but I don\'t know if that\'s really the case. Nothing on this meter mentions anything about \"candle-power.\" Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I have a Master 2 which is in reasonable condition. I was recently given a Master V, in original box, complete with invercone and instructions. I was stunned to find it had never been taken from the box. Absolutely beautiful. You can still smell the leather when you lift the lid...

I own a Master II 735 in the box with a mint manual. I'd be happy to scan the manual and share. The meter seems to work well, looks new.

Have had a Weston Master 2 CINE exposure meter model 736 No. 8219625, Weston Elec. Inst. Corp. Newark,N.J. U.S.A. , stored for 10 years and tried to use it for the first time. The meter needle would not move in bright sun light and would hang up when I would shake the meter.Thanks to Daniel R. Mitchell's Web site" Camera Collecting and Restoration" information , I was able to repair the meter by ; tightening a screw at the meter cell to the movement ( metal bridge) to get a good electrical circuit . And by bending the needle (It took 5X to get it right) so it hit it's stops but not the scale or cover glass. I used a small amount of new lube for the cell back door and scale changing moving points and the bottom release spring; (NOTE ! this spring and the case top guide pins can and will fall out. Clean all dirt /ect. from the case, screws, and meter movement with very light air / brushing cleaning before reassembly.) The screws in this meter are of the jewelers type with very small threads...,start them carefully - don't over torque. This meter is of the reflecting measuring type , using a log-progression of light values (the meter scale says "Relative Brightness" See "James's Light Meter Collection : Weston Master 2 Cine " on the Web. Good luck , P.C.

Firstly, great site. Bought a misc box of goodies at auction and found a Weston Master II PAT. NO. 531996 - model no. S141/735 - no. 04874 distributed by sangamo weston ltd - Ilford ltd. Have checked out a few sites and think it is from USA. Would like some info if anyone has some and would really like to find out if it has any value, would like to sell to a collector if poss, rather than get ripped off on ebay. Thanks

I have a non-working E703 Weston Lightometer made by Sangmo Weston of Enfield Serial 89166, complete with leather case (but no cell covers). Would anyone like it, or a photo of it? I am disposing of a few items for a lady who has just gone into a nursing home.
