The LEICAMETER M, MC, MR and MR-4 are dedicated to couple to the shutter-speed dials of theLEICA M3, LEICA M2, LEICA M1, LEICA M4, LEICA M4-2 andLEICA M4-P. These are "coupled" meters that are connected to the camera's shutter speed dial and therefore save you any need to tran...
The M3 is great for when you have a few seconds to meter and set exposures manually, while the M9 just shoots and answers your questions later. The M9 makes a great light meter and exposure preview system for the M3, which of course takes longer than just taking the picture with the ...

Light Meters and ExposureI use this Light Meter app or the Gossen DIGISIX.LEICA's manual suggests for the films of the 1930s, to use 1/30 to 1/60 outdoors and to vary the aperture based on lighting outdoors. LEICA suggests using 1/200 and 1/500 speeds for sports shot wide-open (...
a picture of her with her Leica M3, which is sort of weird, if you think about it, unless, of course, the Queen is a hard-core Leicaphile. If so, I’d be interested in knowing why, way back then, she preferred the M3 to an M2 or even a IIIg. Does she still have her M3?
