Coverage of VC-II Meter

[wilonstott]

When I'm looking through the viewfinder, and the VC-II is mounted on top, approximately how much of the viewfinder is being metered?

Can I go by a specific set of framelines--50mm lines? 90mm lines? (approx. area of course).

I'm trying to get an idea so I can use this meter as effectively as possible.

Thanks guys.

The 90mm lines will work. If I remember right, the meter has about 30 degrees FOV.

Cool. Good to know. Thanks for the quick reply.

The manual say's an aprox. 30 degree coverage, however I don't know how that translates to frameline.
The Leica MR meter is 90mm frame line.
Someone should be able to figure it out.

I don't know math.

No Need. I think Roland got it right. Use the 90mm Frame lines.
