Description

A world-standard analog exposure meter known for its incredible sensitivity in low light. Using a Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) cell, it can measure everything from bright sunlight to moonlight, hence the name "Luna". Its "trick" is a dual-range system: a physical switch toggles between high and low light levels, shifting the internal needle and scale to maintain extreme accuracy across a massive range of conditions.
