Rolleilux
In bayonet size 1 for use with Tessar,
Xenar or Triotar f/3.5 lenses. For most accurate results , an exposure meter
should be firmly attached to the camera from the shooting position so it can
read the exposure accurate. These advantages are combined by the Rolleilux in a
very practical way: the hinged exposure meter with the lens hood lets you make
combined use of 2 accessories . Placed right beside the lens, it is
conveniently in view in view at all times. While you are selecting your
subject, the follow-up pointer determines exposure value and speed/stop combinations.
Incident light measurements with diffusor are also possible . Grey leather
container , matches the camera case , is attached to the camera neck strap and
keeps the Rolleilux handy at all times.
Condition:
Meter works and is complete with the diffuser. The shade and meter have no damage and look
perfect. Bayonet mount is in fine order.
