I bought a Kiev camera which came with a non working Leningrad 2 light meter . I just love the bakerlite styling , like a 50s guitar .
Is a working one useable [ i.e. similar to that of my Kiev 4 ? ]
I have seen one at 45 euro , new and boxed ... and would love to buy it just because .... it would be even better if I could use it !
 
i use a leningrad 4 which works well

shop around a little... that price seems high

but i agree its sweet looking
 
The Leningrad-2 is the best looking Soviet lightmeter IMHO.M Unfortunately, because of their age, very few have cells which work properly. If you get one with a working selenium cell then they are perfectly usable, although the top film speed is 250 GOST (27 DIN) and there is only a single scale, unlike the more common Leningrad-4. I wouldn't pay more than $12 for one.
