Yes i will be using it, i think it's a great little toy ;)
 
To be honest its very accurate which has suprised me......;)
 
This has been kept away for the last 40 years in its original case.......:D
 
I keep a Weston Master V in my bag, which I use for incidental light readings. It is accurate and easy to use, although I don’t know if anyone still calibrates them when needed.
 
I used to repair Weston V's and they generally could not be calibrated, they depended very much on having a decent selenium cell. I think the later Euromaster was equipped with a small adjustment pot but the movements in those meters were generally inferior to the original.

Quality wise and construction, they seem to go downhill after model III......even the leather case of my IV is crappier.
