Gossen Luna Pro

Finally I score a Luna Pro on Ebay!  It seemed like every time I found a nice one to bid on, I got out bid at the last second by some antique dealer or collector.  I think they try to buy low and sell high, you know?  That's cool but I wanted one to actually use for photography!

As I've implied elsewhere, I am pretty much shooting with Pentax M Series lenses from the 1970s.  The quality is just awesome.  The problem is that the K10D exposure meter does not work after you take the initial reading.  I always have to take the shot and then check the histogram and adjust from there.  That is okay, but sometimes leads to missed opportunities.  Photography is mostly about capturing a moment in time and in many cases those moments are short.

Well, my Luna Pro arrived today and it is one beautiful piece of equipment.  I can see why antique dealers want them.  To be honest, one of the reasons I wanted this particular meter over any other is kind of silly.  Its because I like the little sun and moon symbols on the dial  :-)
