Highlights
Why this object
still matters.
The Agfa Lucimeter S is a classic handheld light meter featuring a distinctive cream and black plastic body. Its rotating circular calculator dial on the front face allows photographers to manually correlate film speed (ASA and DIN scales) with shutter speeds and aperture values. Manufactured in Germany, this vintage tool represents an essential era of analog exposure calculation before internal electronic metering became standard.
