Whatever adapter you use, you need to stop down anyway to your choice of f number at which your camera will meter. In a nutshell, you don't have to worry about metering cam at all.

Newer versions of the 14167 have a nul cam for R bodies to zero the meter properly, but not all 14167 have this. > > With the 14127 and SL2, the aperture indication in the viewfinder will tell you what you've set the pseudo-aperture ring to. The pseudo-aperture ring doesn't affect the meter reading at all so for all practical purposes the aperture indication in the SL2 viewfinder should be ignored when using the 14127 - aside from this it works fine. > > > Doug Herr > Birdman of Sacramento > http://www.wildlightphoto.com > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
