They usually looked like Brian's nice chrome one. The black bodies and meters were made in much smaller numbers. Apart from the smaller production runs, they were mostly used by pros so few have survived.

thanks for that. it has survived in very good condition.thanks for your help.

The Black Photomic "Bullseye" meter is uncommon. You got a great price.

 

The protruding tube is the "Spot Meter" attachment for the metering cell. The Photomic Bullseye comes with an Incident metering disk, as shown on mine. The "Tube" restricts the field of view to that of a 135mm lens. Both unscrew, and store by screwing into the battery cap.

 

Using the Tube: there are two sets of ASA numbers for setting film speed. Use the numbers in Yellow (Hence the Yellow stripe on the Tube) for setting with it in place. Use white numbers for the incident and bare cell. Post a picture of the camera, there are two versions of this meter: one with a Push Button (mine) and one with a "Flag", a cover for the cell.
