"Optek" light meter: User manual (in Russian)

This is an "Optek" ("ОПТЭК") light meter that was made in the USSR.

This light meter is optical, not electronic. It is a clone of a German model (FILUX Platin, Balda Expophot, or something similar).

Surprisingly, the light meter is quite accurate when the correct scale is chosen: there are three options depending on the lighting conditions to compensate for eye adaptation.

My copy was manufactured in either 1954 or 1955.
