I have used that and (2 versions of) the CV meter and found the Sekonic much more accurate and effective, especially as regards angle ot its readings (plus it does incident if you want). I recommend that it is better to leave it detached. Less awkward and better control, I think. I replaced both with the very flat and fast digital Sixtomat from Gossen for this job. Very consistent readings against my bigger studio type meter as well. No linkages with any of these to shutter speed dials of course. 2009/1/21 Douglas Sharp <douglas.sharp@gmx.de> > I still use a Leicameter on my M4-2. > > There is a more modern alternative for use in the accessory shoe, made by > Voigtl?nder/Cosina - it works well, but I think it's pretty ugly.
