A recent addition to one of my most pointless collections. I only have a handful of vintage light meters but each is a masterpiece of everyday engineering. I'm not even much of a photographer - What need do I have for a light meter? None. Which is good because full functionality is of no interest to me. No. To qualify for membership of this particular assemblage only the following criteria must be met:
a) It must be a light meter
b) It must be old(ish)
c) It must have swiddly bits
It would be fair to say that (c) is actually the most important characteristic.
Do you have any further collecting rules? No internet browsing, for example?

Internet browsing is OK. I got this on ebay. It does feel like I'm cheating a bit but it doesn't keep me awake at night.

Those (pseudo) ascenders and descenders on Color Finder are deftly aligned, aren't they?

It's just occurred to me that those two letter, combined like that, are reminiscent of the calligraphic/italic "f" often used to represent the "f" of "f stop".
