Analog Light Meter Appraisal

Gossen Luna-Pro Light Meter (Luna-Six Version)

This is a vintage Gossen Luna-Pro analog exposure light meter, specifically a model branded for international markets (likely the Luna-Six or a regional variant based on the circular 'Luna' branding). The device is housed in a gray plastic rectangular body with a prominent circular multi-layered dial assembly used for calculating shutter speeds, apertures, and ASA/DIN film speeds. Notable features include the needle-deflection display at the top, a switch for high and low light sensitivities, and an integrated incident light dome. The meter is presented in its original dark leather ever-ready carrying case, which features a vibrant red velvet or felt lining and a snap closure. High-quality German engineering is evident in the precision of the dial markings. The condition appears fair to good for its age; there is visible wear and cracking on the leather case, particularly at the hinge, and the metal snap shows some surface oxidation. The meter itself shows light dust and minor scratches on the dial face, but the needle and numerals remain legible. These meters typically date from the 1960s to 1970s and were highly regarded as professional-grade hand-held meters due to their wide range of sensitivity.
