Jeremy Lawson Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I want to get hold of a Cinemeter II but I can't seem to find anywhere that can get hold of one. It's driving me nuts, loads of guys are using them but they don't seem to come from anywhere! Can anyone help point me in the right direction? What's the deal with these things? Help!!!

Daniel Andreas Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) The Cinemeter II is definitely a superior meter - I have had mine for seven years. It's the only light meter that is designed for the cinematographer - from the ground up. All other light meters are still meters where they added some cine speeds.... Sadly the Burbank based company went belly up as it could not compete w/ the Asian made meters. If you are lucky you might still find them at some stores. Good luck and let me know if you found one and where -- I might buy a back-up just in case. Edited October 13, 2005 by Daniel Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there was one up for grabs on ebay this week. It sold for a mere $1400, mind you. Since they are not made anymore, most people who have one are hanging on to it like dear life. So not only is a question of where can you find them, but how much are you willing to pay for them once you find them. http://cgi.ebay.com/CineMeter-II-Light-Met...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Muraida Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Please let me know if anyone is still interested in purchasing a Cinemeter II. I have had this for many years but it has not been used much at all. It is in like-new condition and I am willing to part with it if someone is interested. I will most likely put it up on eBay soon.
