Ilford Warmtone : LD20 : Selenium toned : Bleached highlights : Rolleiflex Model F f2.8 Carl Zeiss Planar
Converted in Elements 12, structure and burned edges in Silver Efex, then a selenium tone and vignette in Perfect Effects 8.
can be more. Converted in Perfect Effects 8 using a glow preset on the color file and then converted using a selenium preset. The ghost border used as I wanted this time--no offset.
Very sturdy, simple camera. Came with a Prontor SLK Spezial shutter, speeds from 1 to the 1/300 + B. The lens is a coated Pantar 45mm f/2.8. A Selenium cell is coupled. to the aperture ring.
This example's shutter fired fine in the store, a couple times at home and then it decided to miss-fire. The shutter goes off while winding. (sigh) Oh, well, it'll look good on the shelf till I can putter with it's repair.
I had trouble identifying the exact model. Zeiss made a bazillion models over the years. Finally got the correct information at the web address below. Bone-up on your French to go there.

I've recently added a few gently used selenium lightmeters to my collection. They were relatively inexpensive or given to me free (thanks, CH!).
Although most aren't designed to be used in low-light conditions, they are fine for general, day-time, outdoor use, especially if using negative film with a bit of exposure latitude.
While out pinholing, I enjoy using these battery-less analog meters in conjunction with the free "Pinhole Exposure Scale" by Kyoto Photo Press (lower-right).

Optische Werke Steinheil München - Cassar 1:2.8/45mm lens
Prontor-LK shutter 1/15-1/500 and B

The selenium exposure meter is displayed by a needle in the viewfinder, so one can get the right exposure without taking the eye of the viewfinder.
The needle is replicated on the top plate.

Someone asked me recently where my flickr icon came from - it's a little section from this very old photo of mine. I found it again in my archives and thought I would post it. It's not an amazing photographic accomplishment, but jasmine is my favorite flower so I have a soft spot for it.
This is from the era where I selenium split-toned every print I could get my hands on. I was going to photoshop it out here, but decided to keep it as a reminder of my "early days"...
Agfa Optima 200 Sensor (second version).
German viewfinder camera produced c.1969.
.
When the Resistors Board is removed it is possible to push the Selenium Cell upwards and out of the Body..
The dimensions of the Selenium Cell are about 17.5 mm height and 24.5mm width.
The Cell here is practically gone and only gives some milliVolts. Not enough anymore to move the needle of the Meter. Also no meter reaction when the parallel resistors were short-circuited :-(

Lifa Colorlux
Selenium cell powered Lightcolor meter.
Found in a Polish thrift shop July 2020.
That thrift shop only sold second hand stuff coming from Sweden (by the truck loads).
This is my second Colorlux meter and quite remarkably different from my first one !!
I now realize that my first Colorlux meter has 2 selenium cells while this second Colorlux has only 1 cell (hidden underneath the dial) and is only able to measure the lightcolor, not the exposure value.
Went to Ikea jus1t to roam the a`cres od stuff. Lots of photo ops and they don't seem to mind. These were lamps hung all in a row--I used Matt Kloskowski's free preset in Light Room called Selenium.
I am pretty slow at keyboarding with the left two fingers of my left hand in a cast that is way to big and annoying. I will get to your photostream--eventually.
Thanks for your well wishes and your patience.
Pretty much what it says.....Acros film, Ilford warmtone matte paper, selenium toned, Hasselblad with 50mm lens
Holga - Fuji Neopan - Rodinal 1+50 - 13 min. Fomatone 132, Moersch SE5 1000 + 25 + 25 + 15d. Selenium - gold toned
With Ilford Sportslite flashgun and coupled selenium meter (not auto exposure though, in spite of the name). The Mk.4 was introduced in 1963; some have a knob rewind (see comment below) in place of this rather substantial crank. Made in Germany by Dacora, similar to a Dignette model. The Ilford Sportslite flashgun has a neat folding mechanism; the central plastic part of the reflector rotates to retract the metal blades to about 1/4-inch around the plastic.
Pronto-LK shutter, 1/15-1/500; Steinheil Cassar 45mm/f2.8 lens.
This one has the shutter jammed; I think due to the self timer being stuck; a shame because the meter still works! I probably won't get round to trying to fix it, apart from fiddling with the controls a little now and again, as I'd use the Auto RF rangefinder model if I actually wanted to use it. The dent on the top plate is due to me dropping it only a few inches onto the edge of a TV, when I was taking a photo of the film reminder some time ago.
