The LEICAMETER MC must be set to the speed rating
of the film being used. It has two built-in measuring
ranges (indicated by black and red dots on the
instrument) and a third range, for extremely low
illumination, is obtained by means of an accessory
booster-cell (see special instructions). Direct exposure
readings may be obtained in two different ways: (1) Set
the desired shutter speed opposite the black triangle
on lop of the meter. Observe the aperture indicated by
the moving pointer-needle, and set the lens aperture
scale accordingly. (2) Set the desired lens aperture and
turn the milled meter adjustment wheel until this
aperture on the meter dial appears opposite the moving
pointer-needle; the correct shutter speed is
automatically set. If there isn't enough light to obtain a
reading on the black aperture scale, set the range-
selector to the red dot and use the red scale of
apertures. Note that the first two openings on the red
scale (f/1.5 and f/2) overlap the last two on the black
scale (f/11 and f/16). The correct value is, determined by
the position of the range selector lever.
The diffuslng-screen for incident-light readings attaches to the front of the
meter and shows its presence by a protruding tab. See special instructions
in the LEICAMETER MC manual before attempting to use this measuring
technique.
For exposure times from 2 to 120 seconds turn the milled meter setting ring
to "B", then lift up to uncouple before turning further in the direction of the
arrow (at the right-hand side of the meter). The reading is made as
described above except that the shutter-release must be held down
(preferably with a locking cable-release) for the total time required. For
booster-cell readings first observe the shutter speed opposite the small
square symbol, then set this speed opposite the black triangle before
exposing. Remember that the black triangle on top of the LEICAMETER
MC always shows the speed at which the shutter is set. In the illustration
above you will notice that the shutter is set at
1
/
250
sec., while the square
symbol appears opposite
1
/
60
sec. Had this reading been made with the
booster-cell it would be necessary to transfer the
1
/
60
sec. to the black
triangle.
