Keks M-Meter, modern Leica MR meter

Mine is somewhere stuck in the post. Should have been delivered last week 🙁
Going in circles between FedEx and the shop where I asked for it to be delivered. FedEx say it is there and the woman in the shop says not. It seems Fedex used a third party for delivery so I will phone them up. I’m starting to doubt I will ever see this meter.

Dear Robert,

Thank you for your follow-up question.

The black paint models of the KEKS M Meter are expected to be finished this week. Therefore, we anticipate that your order will be shipped next week. Yes, a tracking number will be provided once your order has been dispatched.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
Keks
 
"Thank you for your purchase, we really apologise for the delay as the black paint model is still underproduction, we expect your order will be shipped in next week."

Well they finally found it and got it delivered.IMG_0930.jpeg
 
I received an email request from KEK to pay $10 more to upgrade a Fedex shipping. "Apparently" I asked for local country shipping. KEK provided a link to their paypal to use for the payment of $10.

Frankly I was concerned that this was a scam of sort. However,I did contact with them by email and confirmed there was no scam.

I asked them when I should anticipate shipping and delivery. I haven't heard from them yet.
 
They did confirm that my meter shipping shortly.

Your order is ready to ship, we will ship your order by the end of this week.
 
“As you may know, we’ve already begun shipping the aluminium version of the M-Meter. However, the brass (Black Paint) model has encountered a production delay due to a defective part. We’ve returned the faulty component to our supplier and are currently having it remade.



While we don’t have an exact arrival date yet, we can confirm that the new part will arrive no later than next week. As soon as it does, we’ll begin assembling the units — a process that will only take a few days. Once production is complete, we’ll ship orders in the sequence they were received.”

My guess, another month waiting time…
 
I’m very happy with mine but does anyone else have it occasionally being a bit hesitant when going over the range 30/sync(50)/60/120 ? Sometimes going up from 30 I have to go to 60 and back down to get it to register 50 and similar in the opposite direction for 60.

Edit: I forgot to say it is on a M4.
 
Yes, the sync setting doesn't always register but with a slight additional push it does. This is on a M3. You can calibrate the meter to your specific shutter rotation. I think that helped but it still isn't perfect. The setting is in the menu, you basically set each shutter speed working up from B and tell the meter each position.
