Disconnekt · Sep 22, 2023

Figured I'd post here since this news applies to a bunch of equipmet that uses two 625 batterys.

Not sure if anbody has seen this recently, Gosse released (rereleased?) a new battery adapter for their Lunasix lightmeters that use two 625 batterys, allowing you to use SR43 batterys

Gossen battery adapters for the old Lunasix light meters were discontinued. Gossen has now developed a successor.

Very nice. I had a Luna Pro way back that took mercury cells.

3d printing to the rescue again. Now where did I put my Lunasix?

Sweet! Gossen serviced my Luna Pro some years ago and the battery adapter was an additional $75 IIRC, so this is great news. It’s my favorite meter.

Great news. Gossen is quite progressive in an exceptionally retro sort of way!

And at a very fair price. Two MR-9 converters would be more useful but a bit more expensive.

I haven’t checked if the shipping cost is reasonable.

And if anybody is interested, SilverGrain Classics did a quick test of the adapter on their instagram. They do say it does have the Schottky Diode to reduce the voltage:

I sprung for 2 adapters from criscam a couple years ago and have been quite satisfied with them. I use them in my Lunasix and move them to my old Minolta SRTs when needed. I’d go for the new one from Gossen just for the convenience.

I checked their website and it looks like they don't sell outside the EU. No option for sales to US in checkout.
Anyone know where I can get one of these Gossen adapters as I have an old Luna Pro that needs to be exercised.

I can sell you mine. I bought it for a Konica T4, but unfortunately the battery cap will not screw on when the adapter is installed.
