So I doubt it will be the same.... Hah! I still believe all the electronics likely a new board design with newer and easier to source board components. At least that's the one thing I would be willing to bet on. I really do hope someone does a teardown to prove (or disprove) it. I'm sure the shutter, white dot, and lots of mechanical parts are recycled from the MP. You still get my $50 if you do the teardown, but I'd hate to see you wreck your Leica warranty.

Having the color of the "dot" mimic an 18% gray card would lessen the sensitivity range of the meter. It is more useful to have the surface as light in color as possible so that it can reflect a greater amount of a lower level of light on to the sensor. The lack of pigment on some portions of the "dot" may be a purposeful action to standardize the amount of light reflected to the sensor. Best Regards, Michael Hi Michael, Welcome to the forum yourself. I imagine that the light meter is calibrated to the dot so that it measures as an average meter. It's typical that meters use averaging, 18% grey, for metering. The changes like backlighting or whatever situation we wish to use is left to our brain to figure out via compensation.
