It was bought (not by me) in the early 70's only because it was the meter that the nikonos underwater meter case was designed for, and has been in use in and out the case since then. Looks like a plastic toy but almost 35 years after it's fine and dandy yet giving accurate readings from their selenium cells. Perhaps that toy-look is just a disguise. :) Saludos ----------------------------------------- http://imaginarymagnitude.net/blog/
