However, when you press the light button, it illuminates a section of the viewfinder outside the picture area where you can see the needle inside the follow pointer. The follow pointer on the SL/2 is different than the SL because of this feature. The SL/2 has a meter that is more sensitive than all other Leitz/Leica cameras except the R8 and the M5. BTW, I've had my SL/2 for more than 23 years and have never needed the illuminated meter needle feature.
