The dials do get moved around easily, but it's not a big deal (nor have I had much of a problem w/the meter button getting accidentally pushed in the bag). The biggest drawback to the VC as compared to the MR meters is that it doesn't hold a single reading once the button is pushed (unlike many handheld meters, the VC gives a "real time" continuous reading that changes as the lighting changes, more like an in-camera TTL meter)--because the VC reads the same amount of coverage as the MR (approx. = a 90mm lens), you must be careful as to where it's pointed. It also doesn't engage the shutter speed dial like the MR. On the other hand, I've found the VC to be considerably more sensitive & accurate @ low light levels than the MR & it's significantly smaller. Chris - -------------------- Hello LUGgers, Is there any Voigtlander VC meter's user ? Is it accurate ? Is it worth to get it or is the Leica MR definitily better?
