I'm told that the weak spot in these is a rubber band which deteriorates with age.
Mine suffers from the same problem as my others: it doesn't work. A pretty easy to use meter-if it works properly.
The first was simply called " Automat." Subsequent models were given letters: this Automat A, the Automat B, and a Automat C.Īutomat means automatic, and the idea was that you set the the film speed by turning the knurled ring on the side, then you aim it, press and hold the button for a couple seconds, and when you let go, the ƒ/stop-shutter speed combinations appeared in the window in the center. This is the second of the Automat series. So many other meters are functional but dull. They may not be the best, but they're fun to look at and fool with.
I love Bertram meters: they have character.
