juan_bonet Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 <p>Hello.<br /> I have a Sekonic L38, a Weston Master V and a Weston Master IV. The Sekonic and the W.M.V works very well, but I think that the cell of the Weston Master IV is starting to die. I never can do that the arrow goes to the end of any scale. Even with the perforated window open wide, the arrow never goes to the end of the scale in front of the light. If you use it since the start of the scale to the half, or maximum at three quarters of it, the light meter works well. I think that the cell does not produce the courrent necessary to lead the arrow to the end of the scale.<br /> I like use very much this light meter for my Leica IIIf (more than my Voightlander VCII) and I would like to repair it. Anybody knows how I can do for repair it?<br /> Thanks in advance.<br /> Juan.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Currie Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 <p>I occasionally read good accounts of a place called Quality Light Metric in San Francisco. I don't think they have a website but a google search comes up with an address and number. It might be worth contacting them to see if they can do anything. Of course I don't know if it's worth the hassle if you're in Europe, but there's no harm in finding out.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george_carpenter1 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 <p>"I occasionally read good accounts of a place called Quality Light Metric in San Francisco."<br> I had them fix and calibrate my WMV and they did a splendid job. Price was around $80 US, IIRC.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_gibbons Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 <p>I used Quality Light Metric a year ago for an old Sekonic L28c I think it is. $80 and it works great. The guy was even kind enough to mention that I could probably buy a light meter new for the same price or less. Despite his "better judgement" I had mine fixed! :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerry_miller1 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 <p>Another vote for Quality Light Metric. I just got my Master V back from George. He installed a new selenium cell and it works great. About a three day turn around. He did my Luna Pro SBC about 2 years ago. Top notch service.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
