G'Mornin' Javier, Reg & all:
No need for such efforts.... The CDS cell has almost infinite resistance=
when dark, The more light strikes it, the lower it's resistance and the=
more current it draws, thus moving the meter's needle. Simple.
If you want it to be OFF, just make sure the lens cap is on, or it's in a=
dark camera case. Better yet... both!
Cheers!
David.
