Item is in Excellent condition and is in proper working order.
100-Day Warranty
The Horseman Komamura Exposure Meter is a through-the-lens (TTL) analog light meter designed for large-format photography. By sliding into a standard 4x5 spring or Graflok camera back just like a regular sheet film holder, it reads light directly at the film plane to give precise exposure values without manual bellows-factor or filter-compensation math.
Key Features and Operation
- TTL Film-Plane Reading: Measures actual light passing through the lens and camera body.
- No Compensation Math: Automatically accounts for extended bellows draws, macro close-ups, and filter factors.
- Adapter Versatility: Smaller 6x9 format Horseman meters frequently use a dedicated 4x5 outer adapter shell, while native 4x5 meter versions slide right into standard international backs.
- Vintage Power Needs: Older units often rely on vintage mercury batteries, which may require modern voltage-matched zinc-air replacements or internal electronic modification.
