Instructions for a leningrad light meter?

[Fedzilla_Bob]

Does anyone have instructions for a Leningrad light meter?

I have one and I believe it works. However, I'm not sure about the settings and GOST film speeds when compared to western film speeds.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have managed to find some instructions for a Leningrad 4. I don't know how much difference there is but I can scanit and send it if you wish.

Hi Kim-- I actually figured it out last night. But-- when you have time you could scan and then post under tech specs.

Maybe I should put what I have found there as well.

Hello

I have a Leningrad I and on the back is a GOST - XNA - DIN comparison chart as follows:

GOST - XNA - DIN
16 - 400 - 14
22 - 550 - 15
32 - 800 - 17
45 - 1100 - 18
65 - 1600 - 20
90 - 2200 - 21
130 - 3200 - 23

That's as high as the chart goes. The meters GOST settings go up to 700.

The other set of numbers (Closest English alphabet to Russian is XNA) that I have idea where they come from. Anyone know?
