Adams Zone Dial on a Weston 'Master' lightmeter

Found on ebay and immediately snapped up !!

Ideas on how to work it are welcome (I am familiar with the said Zone System in principle).

Unfortunately, the meter instructions are missing and, in any case, the dial is an option - the original was in the box ...

Hi, Ted,

Wow! Neat-O.

This is probably predicated on reflected light metering.

Best regards,

Found a manual! The instructions look the same as for your Master V.


No mention of a C constant. It did come with "dome" attachment to fit over the sensor, FWIW.

1) It mentions the Adams dial but not how use it; just refers to Adams' and a Minor White Zone system books elsewhere. Such books would not be specific to the Master6.

The printed-in-Japan instructions only give Weston's USA address for Service and for the Ansel dial option, so that could mean that the Master6 was made in Japan under a Weston license. We still don't know who by for sure.

Although it is said that the Master6 is frowned upon by the cognoscenti, I have bought several Master V's for research - none which worked (low/dead sensors) gives good enough results... no more than EV off ...[/i]
