American Zone
Shown is another piece of kit that I got as part of the eBay bundle I mentioned before. Although not now functional, this is a lovely little Cold War artefact from West Germany (as was). A beautifully presented photographic exposure meter - the Mini Rex II by Rex Messinstrumentenbau GmbH, Erlangen. In its original box and with the exposure chart that came with it, this was manufactured in the American Zone as it was at the time: a piece of history in itself. Very evocative: maybe I should have photographed it in black & white!
