Chino L.D. Meter Lite Reviews

What do you know? It WORKS!!!

I know there are plenty of contenders in the shoe mounted meter space but this little guy has a unique selling point. The laser distance meter is a great addition. I find it most useful in setting a starting point for rangefinder focusing. Fine focus is usually just a short twitch away from its measured distance. Granted - the red dot is not the easiest to see in bright sunlight but it’s still better than nothing. I got the wider 30° light meter and so far it is very accurate for my use case. All in all a great purchase for my Leica M4 and I can happily recommend it to anyone lacking a meter. It’s way better than fumbling around with a handheld meter while holding your camera!
