Thanks for posting this;  you beat me to the punch.  Selenium most closely
matches the response pattern of photographic emulsions, and, hence, has an
important capacity as a light-meter material.

I still use my father's 1938 Weston as a regular meter.  It may suffer from
its wide acceptance angle, but it is certainly accurate!
