Tomosey's book on Leica repair would lead one to believe that the original cells can be replaced with silicone solar cells, but I have no direct experience with this. I use the Gossen Digisix meter with my M3.

Don't get an MC, the solenoids do not last. The MR is more convenient due to its attachment to the shutter speed dial. Downside is but battery can be hard to get, some MR's have been converted to current battery output. Look into this issue first. Also once on the camera, the MR isn't convenient to remove. > > > > The VC doesn't couple to the speed shutter dial so one must be careful.
