AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am selling the very extensive photography collection of my late father. He was a passionate hobby photographer for 65 years and in recent years also experimented with alternative lenses on digital cameras. He would disassemble the lenses if necessary for cleaning or repair. I am not a photography expert myself, so I describe the lot as thoroughly as possible, including as many detailed photos as possible.
READ the information below and carefully examine the attached photos to avoid any misunderstandings.
From internet info:
an interesting lot with two classic light meters that together give a good picture of electronic exposure measurement in the analogue era: a Kopil CdS light meter with flash shoe mount and a Gossen Polysix Electronic 2.
The Kopil CdS light meter is a Japanese-made light meter from the 1960s to the 1970s, designed to mount on top of the camera via an accessory shoe (flash shoe). This meter uses a CdS sensor (Cadmium Sulfide), which at that time was known for its higher sensitivity at low light levels compared to older selenium meters. The light meter is powered by a 1.35V mercury cell (PX625 type), as was common with CdS meters of that era. The analog needle and clear scales provide a classic, direct readout of exposure values.
The Gossen Polysix Electronic 2 is a renowned light meter from the German brand Gossen, worldwide known for its precision measuring equipment. This electronic light meter was widely used by both amateur and professional photographers and is suitable for a variety of lighting conditions and film speeds. The Polysix Electronic 2 runs on a 9-volt battery (PP3 type) and combines a wide measuring range with clear and functional operation, characteristic of Gossen's design philosophy.
In the Gossen light meter there is still a working battery; see the red indicator light in the photo. The Kopil has not been tested with a battery.

Combined shipping of lots is possible, but only if they are won in the same auction. This is to save on shipping costs.
