Day 111 - Grand Dad's Light Meter

My mum said she had found a couple of my grandfather's light meters which is really funny because I've just recently been looking around on the net to buy one.  Now that I am getting into using the film cameras, I'm needing a light meter because apparently when they made cameras pre-70's, they didn't have sophisticated electronics to workout the correct exposure for you.   I took this shot with the digital camera set to manual and dialed in the settings off the light meter (in picture).  As you can see, it's pretty spot on for exposure.

Technical:
Canon 7d camera
ISO 200
EF17-40 @ 40mm
f/4
1/400sec
