Infallible Exposure Meter

Wynne’s Infallible Exposure Meter, first made in the 1890s. It's the size of a small antique pocket watch.

 

By timing how long it takes for a paper disk in the meter to change colour when exposed to the light, you can estimate the exposure time you need for your camera, based on your chosen f stop. How technology has changed since then!

 

Here's more information on the meter and how it works, if you’re interested.
