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!

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.

Does it fit on both a Mamiya RB-67ProS and a Mamiya C330f without interfering with any control functions?
Asked by: Paul
It was not designed for those cameras and we cannot test it with those models. If your camera has a cold shoe or hot shoe it with attach to your camera. It can also be used hand held in case the meter interferes with the function of your camera.
