Weston Master III
      #550275 - 05/10/2007 11:43

I bought one way back in the early 80`s and gets used now and again.

It has never been serviced and gives accurate readings, but would it be worth while getting re-calibrated or should I leave it alone as it seems to be working okay?

Sounds good to me.

It was just a thought.

... of course a quick test against a known accurate meter (maybe a camera - but watch for difference in acceptance angles) would be good for your confidence in the Weston

My Weston Master 5 is still accurate after about 40 years but does anyone know where I can get a replacement Invercone (the incident lighting adapter)?

All I can suggest it to contact dealers and ask what they have in stock.

This link may be a good place to start.

There are several on eBay. Here is one with BIN.
