Ok, here's a couple simple ones:

First, regarding the dial lamp- should the "reflector" cup the bulb sits in be shiny inside, or black painted, as mine is now?

Second, what does the "Shadow Meter" actually do, and how does it do this? It appears to be an empty tube with a coil around it that a lamp shines through.

Thanks!
