[Leica] Selenium problems Weston V meters

[Douglas Barry]

Yes, that's more or less what I figured, and my selenium meters are likely 
to end up as a decorative objects in my own personal museum. For the moment, 
my Sekonic L-308S is the only go to meter, I use, but I haven't used studio 
lights for a while, or indeed got to grips with film again in the last two 
and a bit years since I moved here.
