I have a Cosina Voigt VC meter on each of my Leica RFs. I *really* like 'em! Slide 'em into the accessory shoe, set the ISO and you're off to the races. Metering is simple and accurate. In my experience they "see" with about the same angle-of-view as a 90mm lens. They are reflective meters. Easy on batteries too. - -Dave-
