The 1960 Gossen Sixtino (in US Pilot) is a hand held selenium powered light meter. A very compact and lightweight meter, the Sixtino was aimed at the amateur market. In spite of its compact size, both reflected and incident readings are provided.
The Sixtino 2 (in US Pilot 2) was slightly revised and less than half the weight.

Measurement
The selenium cell requires no power and the Sixtino measures constantly. A match needle is moved over the measuring needle by rotating the main dial, then corresponding exposure settings can be read from the scale.
