Leica Leicameter MR (14210) - Accessory

Model Details
Shoe-mounted light meter made for M mount 35mm rangefinders by Leica. Unlike older Leicameters, this model uses a CdS electronic cell. Like older Leicameters, it is compatible with the M3, M2, M1, and the various M4 models. It's recommended to use the newer MR-4 (14217 / 14218) for M4 models, though, because the on/off switch for this original MR may interfere with the rewind knob of the M4. It couples to the shutter speed dial to give the experience of a coupled meter. It has high and low settings and is meant to be used with a 1.35v PX625 battery. Metal and plastic body available in black.

Leica’s M mount was introduced in 1953 alongside its first camera, the M3. Despite the rise of the SLR, Leica cameras have continued to succeed as their unique combination of build quality, speed, and discretion sets them apart from competition. The M bayonet mount, and the cameras introduced alongside it, offered (& continue to offer) a number of advantages over SLRs and other rangefinder cameras.
One big advantage is automatic framelines, which react to the lens on the camera to show accurate framelines in the viewfinder. This is even possible with older Leica Thread Mount (LTM) lenses if the correct adapter is used.
Other manufacturers, such as Cosina Voigtländer, Carl Zeiss, Konica, and Minolta, have also produced rangefinder cameras using Leica M mount.
