Gossen Pilot 2 Light Meters

Gossen Pilot 2 Light Meters 

DESCRIPTION

The smallest meter in the Gossen range. Powered by a selenium photo cell, the PILOT 2 does not require a battery! Both measuring modes are provided: reflected and incident light (sliding roller blind). The PILOT 2 works with a match needle system: the calculator ring is rotated to set the match pointer precisely to the needle on the scale. An accessory shoe is available to mount the meter to the camera flash shoe holder.

Strength:

Cute size! Very light-weight and well-designed hard case. If you have it around your neck without the case, you will quite literally forget it's there. Superb! | Check this http://apikausamoving.com

Strength:

Small, light, simple

Weakness:

2 have failed on me inspire of very limited use & extra gentle care, always in case. I had a brand new Pilot from 1971 or so until it failed in 1983. My dad bought me a brand new Pilot 2 in '83 as the old one was not reading (needle only stayed in the middle).
Today I was comparing readings against my Lunasix 3 and a Nikon & a Minolta SLR. 2 cameras and the Lunasix got identical exposures across the board. The Pilot 2 was off by 1 1/2 to 3 stops under the others(would be too overexposed.) Tried bright medium & low light. The zero needle adjust won't get needle fully to the white dot.
Does the Selenium wear out??? Too bad, really like these but wouldn't spend a penny on another. Maybe just me giving off evil radiation but 2 in a row & treated like jewels. Bye Bye Pilots. You may weigh this in any way against the glowing reports. Still love the LunaSix but it is heavy & bulky.

I had REAL bad luck, Don't invest a lot in one esp if used. Get it tested.

Strength:

No battery, very small, accurate (enough) and will get you into tripod range with
its EV 5-17 range (f2 @ 1/8 sec.). Has a zero adjust screw also.

Weakness:

No flash reading, but don't need it anyway. Probably not a main meter for a pro, but
great for us amateurs.

Very small with hardshell case & lanyard. Both incident and reflected readings accurate. A great batteyrless meter. Why buy big, new and expensive? These are
available (used) all the time online for a song. I'll use it mainly in incident mode, so
it's a bargain for that use.
