Best viewed large on black.
Socalcos negros (black ledgers) in the Douro region, land of the famous Porto whine vineyards and UNESCO world heritage.
Aside from the characteristic patterns, the black soil attracted my interest as usually Douro's vineyards are implanted in brownish schist terrains. Unfortunately, not even a Wratten #21 orange filter was able to cope with the haze existing that day and the light was still harsh. I need to return to such place one of those days.
Thanks for Viewing!

This is a two-range selenium meter built in a Bakelite body with a metal plate on the front for the calculator, marked for film speed in ° Scheiner and /10 DIN.
This is not marked with any names apart from a small S in the bottom-left of the scale, but I'm guessing it's one of the variants of the Gossen Ombrux 2. The Ombrux 2 was introduced in c.1939; this guess and date is based on www.myphotoweb.com by E. van der Aa..
Anyone identify it more reliably?
There's some life in the cell when you press the low-range button, but very little on the standard range.
I'd forgotten I'd taken this back last August, but was reminded whilst looking at other meter pics today.
Very compact battery-less meter from the early 1960's. A reflective type, you could add an aluminum hood and perform incident light readings as well. This example is inoperative. That doesn't mean the meter cell is bad. Quite often, the wiring to the cell has weakened or corroded over time. No plans to repair, it's an elegant shelf-rider from now on.

Very simple meter with a little gem of a leather case. On the back there's a table to choose film and shutter speeds. That's about it. You turn the dial on the front until you match the needle with the scale.
This meter has a dead selenium cell or corroded wiring. Very common with meters this old. So what? It's a great looking meter that will go nicely with some of my old Argus cameras on display.
If you have more interest in old light meters, James Ollinger has a great web site full of information:

An overview of the different silver painted faces of the Metrophot and Metraphot exposure meters that were produced by Metrawatt around 1933. The model in the middle of the bottom row, the Metraphot 16, has a larger body than the other ones because a stronger(=larger) magnet had been used. Botton view.
Argus C3 "Matchmatic" with the selenium meter I so dearly love. Caution: using EV is a prickly business.
