It's the model to buy if you really want that stu= ff... The mercure battery px-625 is now legally forbidden because of the pollution. As replacement you have now the "Wein" cell. Be careful : the leicameter is out of production since 15 years. That is = to say : a used meter needs a (costly )service.Buy if possible a meter with = a warranty. It's perhaps interesting to ask yourself : for the price of a well used leicameter, I can purchase a sekonic meter with silicium, incident and reflected measure of the light, flashmeter, and so on. Moreover, the leic= a meter put on the M4 ruins the smooth design of the leica. I used 3 leicameters with many problems. In my own opinion, it's a "lemon".If you see one, get back. Friendly,
