One of the more popular light meters produced in the DDR. He had high sensitivity and a wide range of settings. Wide range of measurement was obtained by the use of two measuring ranges switchable by mechanical iris. Film speed was selected from 6 ASA to 25000 ASA!, The range was set at shutter speeds up to 8 hours 1/4000s!. I was unable to determine accurately the scope of the production dates, but I used this in the years 70’s. Sensitivity was excellent, but the indicator magnetoelectric was not immune to shock and indicator often was crashed.. Mine was repaired several times …
Another problem has been used PX13 mercury cell with a voltage of 1.35 V and has long been discontinued ….
