w THE MOST SENSITIVE... WIDEST RANGE EXPOSURE METER EVER MIRE! The Gossen-LUNASIX Electronic is a precision exposure meter. With its unheard-of sensitivity, its extreme range (two complete scales for low and bright light), and its unmatched accuracy, the LUNASIX is destined to be¬ come the standard exposure meter for the critical still and movie photographer. 1§ The LUNASIX measures light too dim for the human eye to read by— hence the instrument has an auto¬ matic needle lock. On the other hand, even in the most brilliant snow scenes— when other meters simply hit the end of the scale— the LUNASIX measures ac¬ curately with scale distance to spare! H Its incomparable performance is at¬ tained through a sophisticated electronic circuit which incorporates a specially designed photoconductive cell powered by a tiny long-life mercury battery. B The LUNASIX is the crowning pioneering achievement of West Germany's Gossen Company, the world's largest manufacturer of exposure meters with over 40 years experience and skill in the field of electrical precision measuring instruments.
