I use it in my light meter.
It's great b/c it works.
The only thing that could make it better is if there was a picture of a dinosaur or a robot on it.

The Battery Holder seems to work very well. Now I can use my Luna Pro gain without worrying about where to find batteries.

Comments about Gossen Adapter Kit/Battery Holder for Luna Pro Meter:

I've used a great many light meters but my old Luna Pro is by far my favorite. When the mercury batteries finally gave out, I ended up shelving it. I was thrilled to find this little kit and ordered it right away, in spite of the seemingly high cost.

It's so simple, it does everything its supposed to do and nothing it isn't. The only factor is the cost. But when I consider all my other meters that never quite measured up to my Luna Pro, the decision to purchase was obvious. Now all my newer meters are retired to the shelf and my Luna Pro is back where it belongs in my kit.

I was very skeptical about this product. After receiving it in the mail. I immediately put the batteries and the sleeve inside the battery compartment. Pressed the test button and bingo! It worked. I compared it to my Nikon D3 and the metering was very close, I adjusted the zero balance on the meter and it was instantly on par with the Nikon's in camera meter. Great product, it was worth the price!

Skeptical as could be. However: Super easy install. Works as promised. Made my Luna Pro come back to life!

I tested the batteries with a digital volt/ohm meter and the voltage reduction was spot on.

When i dug up my old Luna6pro meter I was dismayed that the batteries were dead but more so by the fact that I couldn't find replacement batteries.Two days later... the old meter is working again!This adapter kit with batteries fits the bill.

Simple to install and worked as expected. I can now use my light meter again for night photography.

Comments about Gossen Adapter Kit/Battery Holder for Luna Pro Meter:

I bought an old Lunasix Pro meter off a friend, not realizing it used mercury batteries. I tried using an alkaline (although higher voltage) replacement, but the meter readings were off.

After seeing this adapter on B&H, I thought I would give it a try.
Installation takes less than a minute and the kit even includes batteries.

This adapter fits and works perfectly, now I have a light meter!

If you have an old Luna Pro or Lunasix 3, but don't have the money for an internal conversion, by all means this is the way to go.
I found an old Lunasix 3 and after having read about the limited life of Wein aircells, just went ahead and got this adapter kit. I haven't looked back and am very thankful for this alternative!

Comments about Gossen Adapter Kit/Battery Holder for Luna Pro Meter:

I have a Lunasix 3 that I used frequently for incident light measuement until I could no longer obtain the PX 625 batteries. Upon receiving the Gossen battery adapter, I bent the base contact in the Lunasix battery compartment up by about an eigth of an inch, and then set the Gossen battery adapter and the silver oxide cells in place. The battery check is correct and the Lunasix 3 is again operational.

Works perfectly

Comments about Gossen Adapter Kit/Battery Holder for Luna Pro Meter:

The adapter kit is a must for Gossen Luna Pro to extend the use.

Comments about Gossen Adapter Kit/Battery Holder for Luna Pro Meter:

A bit pricey but very quick and easy to install. It's just the price we have to pay to keep on using our older equipment

Comments about Gossen Adapter Kit/Battery Holder for Luna Pro Meter:

This product solves the problem of 1.5 Volt Mercury cell demise. It becomes an economical way to upgrade over the long haul, regardless of the rather high initial outlay! The thickness of the housing, combined with two button cells, makes installation of the cover on my light meter, a challenge, however. The cover remains slightly higher. Silver oxide cells last longer, maintain better, and are easier to find.Problem solver!!

I bought this kit for my Luna Pro and it works perfectly. Dropped the kit in and hit the battery check switch was dead on. I am back in business.

Comments about Gossen Adapter Kit/Battery Holder for Luna Pro Meter:

My Gossen was dead for many years until I found this adapter. Fits perfectly. Still need to check the accuracy of the meter.

Comments about Gossen Adapter Kit/Battery Holder for Luna Pro Meter:

This is an expensive product for what it does - it is just two Schottky diodes in an adapter. Oh well, imagine if it were for Leica ;-)

I found a beautiful used Luna Pro for very little and this adapter has it working perfectly. So if you have a nice old Gossen meter that just needs a battery, this is worth it.

I took a star off for the price.

Comments about Gossen Adapter Kit/Battery Holder for Luna Pro Meter:

I bought two of these, one for my Luna Pro Meter and one for my Bolex 160 Super 8mm camera. Anything that requires two stacked PX-13 batteries should be able to use this adapter. In the long run it will save a lot of money on buying air cell batteries that only last a few months. If your batteries die and you need to replace them quickly you can get them almost anywhere using this adapter.
