  1. Looking at the front of that brings back memories of my father teaching me how he would take photos with a very similar camera. Take the light meter and take a reading of the main attraction in the shot, maybe a face. Then from that number dial it in on the back of the meter what speed you could get up to. Open the camera to F 6.3 and you could take a speedy 1/100th of a second exposure and it might be crisp if no one moved and you were on a tripod.

    I still have the camera. I wonder where the light meter went? The flashbulbs were the coolest. Glass balls filled with filament, probably something like magnesium. They did pop!
