My Luna Pro and OM-1 are happily munching on a personal stash of mercury
batteries. I found a camera store in Quincy Illinois that still has a
stock of them left.
For those recent converts to photography, the Gossen Luna Pro was probably
one of the finest light meters ever made. It is extremely accurate,
reliable, and able to meter that "coalbin at night" which we all struggle
with. I offered mine for sale early this year, but nobody bit. It looks
like I might be selling the OM-1md and the Luna Pro before too long to fund
the OM-4Ti and 350/2.8 purchases. In fact, for those thinking of Christmas
presents (to themselves?) I have an OM-1md (excellent shape and regularily
CLA'd), an OM-2S that is also in excellent shape, but brassed (I use this
camera!), Soligar 200/2.8 (good condition for a non-zuiko), and a
varimagnifinder that I'm considering parting with. Just giving everybody a
heads-up, it will be a few weeks before I'm in a position to do anything.
Oh, and the Luna Pro is Y2K compliant.
