Book by Andrew Bellamy
Gossen Luna Pro F Light Meter
A listener writes in to ask about the practical use of the Gossen Luna Pro F meter. Michael explains that “it’s all what you’re used to using” in regards to using different brands and that he uses the Gossen because it was “drilled” into his head in 1986 by Prof Bedarich Batka that this was the meter to use.
above: John Fedele in 1989 as the demon’s victim get a light reading by the Gossen Luna-Pro F light meter! In 1989 friend and frequent collaborator Tim O’Rawe wrote and directed a horror film called The Basement – A horror anthology similar “Tales from the Crypt”).
FILTERS: Square or Round
A listener writes in and asks what’s better – round screw in filters or the square Cokin type. Again, Michael explains that it’s really personal preference. Both Mike and John own the Cokin square filters but also have a few round.
