Hi guys

 

I'm sure some of you already know it, however for all the others might be nice giving a look to this link, especially if you strive to have a pocketable reference.

I prepared yesterday at home and I have to say that in my case was spot on with my camera meter, matched within the 1/3 stop back and forth.

Hi Dino

 

Thanks, but where does the battery fit?

Ciao Noel

Not having any Leica yet, not even any meterless Leica, I used my FM3A I had at hands in my backpack to check effective matching of suggested time with available light. It worked and as told was truly spot-on with even lighting, within 1/3 EV back and forth.

Hi Dino

 

I apologise I was teasing.

 

Long time ago I was so poor I did not have a light meter and my dad gave me a Kodak model 2, he got from one of his friends, it was 1960.

You are correct the table look up algorithms are really good, but if you lose your calculator...

 

Sunny 16 rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

The problem here is it is dull for 6 months of the year, f/5.6 1/125 400 ISO.

 

So I get depressed and tease people.

P.S. the meterless Ms are a lot cheaper then the M5 or M6 and later, M2 if you are rich enough M4-2 if you are poor, chipped vulcanite cheaper still, a CV LTM lens is ok to (with LTM/M adapter), lots of the time I use, sunny side rules.
