It may also be used on the SL and SL2 (ignoring the SL2's viewfinder aperture readout), and with exposure compensation may be used with any R body. The 2 versions of 14167 are with or without the nul cam required by many R-bodies for correct metering without compensation. The one without the nul cam can be used on the SL and SL2 bodies with no special tricks; the one with the nul cam may be used on any R-body except the Leicaflex Standard with accurate metering. With either version of the 14167, the Leicaflex Standard's meter will not give accurate results. Doug Herr Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt
