Accessory Lightmeters
Gossen Sixtomat Lightmeter
Later Iloca models began to incorporate built-in light meters. However, many Iloca cameras were sold without any in-built metering at all. Consequently, an accessory lightmeter is a very useful aid for any camera that doesn't have one built in. There is a good range of meters to choose from, either from the same era as the camera itself, or from later periods. Most older meters use selenium light cells to measure the light intensity. Unfortunately, this type of light cell seems to have a finite life span and many of these old meters are no longer active.
Some lightmeters are capable of taking light readings using either the Reflected or Incident method. This type of meter is helpful for obtaining accurate readings in varying conditions. In my experience, I have found that incident readings tend to be more accurate and I have obtained good results using this method, particulary with stereo cameras.
