Voigtlander VC Speed Meter II Reviews

Does what it's supposed to

The operations of the light meter is simple. The exposure indicator will look quite familiar to people who have used a Leica M camera, but curiously the arrows of over and under exposure are reversed versus Leica. The readings have been accurate in my experience.

Compact, accurate, and easy to use.

The headline for my review says it all. This meter simply works and as a bonus attaches to a camera cold shoe. I can't imagine an improvement that could be made - it is actually that good!

Can I mount this meter on the cold shoe accessory rail on the left side of my Hasselblad 500CM without affecting the accuracy?
Asked by: Bradley
Mounting this Voigtlander VC Speed Meter II on a cold shoe accessory mount on the left side of a Hasselblad 500CM would affect the accuracy. Although it is a hand held meter, the Sekonic L-398A Studio Deluxe III Light Meter, BH # SEL398A would be much more accurate. The lumisphere on this meter can be turned in order to obtain a more specific reading. https://bhpho.to/3XC5JOc

When batteries get low does that affect exposure? Is there a warning
Asked by: david
I have not noticed any difference in exposure when the batteries get low. I did not notice any warning when the batteries got low; the meter just would not turn on when the batteries went dead.
