Subject: Re: [Leica] meter for M3

Jack,

There are three "modern" light meters for the M cameras:

MC (1957)
MR (1966)
MR-4 (1967)

You should go for one of the MR-models. The only difference between the MR
and MR-4 is the location of the ON/OFF switch. Both meters measure an area
corresponding to the coverage of the 90mm lens.
