Euro-MASTER II Exposure Meter

the latest version of Weston Exposure Meter

...the World's Most Respected Exposure Meter
  • Accuracy and consistency
  • Ease of use
  • The measurement of both incident and reflective light
  • No battery requirement or problems
  • Robust construction and reliability
  • Long trouble-free life
These are the main reasons for the continuing popularity with keen photographers of the Euro-Master II - the latest in the line that started with the original Weston Master I, over fifty years ago.
The classic design concept of a selenium photocell, an easily-read scale, and a circular calculator dial, is still as valid today as when it was first conceived.

The response of the selenium cell is well matched to that of the film emulsion - both panchromatic and colour; this avoids the errors, which can arise, for example when using a cell lacking red sensitivity in evening light.

As no batteries are required, you will not be let down at the crucial moment, by running out of power. Unlike many battery-powered meters, the Euro-MASTER II exposure meter is hardly affected by low temperatures; it has been proven by countless mountaineering and skiing expeditions, even under arctic conditions.

The use of the calculator dial leaves control where it belongs - in the hands of the photographer. You can either simply choose one of the settings given or base the exposure on the darkest object or on the brightest highlight in the scene. Filter factors can quickly be allowed for.

By just clipping in the lnvercone, the Euro- MASTER II exposure meter is converted to an incident light meter, particularly useful in colour and reversal work. Once the reading has been taken, using the "hold" button if preferred, the procedure is exactly the same as for the reflected light method: set the arrow on the dial and read off the exposure either in terms of exposure value (EV), or time against aperture. The Euro-MASTER II covers a very wide range of conditions with two scales, and the Invercone can be used with both of them.

Such sophisticated simplicity would be of little use, unless the Euro-MASTER II could take the usual knocks and bangs of a busy photographer - not to mention the more serious hazards of the mountaineer or explorer. The well-balanced movement is protected by a stainless steel cover, with a strong thermoplastic resin base and the meter is provided with a neck lanyard, and an ever-ready leather case; this combination allows the Euro-MASTER II to go on functioning efficiently year in and year out.

The Euro-MASTER II exposure meter- It is not just the best all-round meter for the professional photographer, but an essential tool for all those who take their photography seriously.
