Plain and simple. Any leaf shutter cameras that meter for ISO 3200? Is the Hexar AF the only one that can do this?
Thanks

Fuji Silvi, Natura, and probably most other late Fujifilm compacts made after the introduction of Superia 1600.

Anything 35mm with manual controls and f2ish lens?

Anything 35mm (instead of MF) with manual controls and f2ish lens?
Natura would be perfect if the controls were manual and the lens wasn't so wide.
Pretty much just want a fixed lens M with a leaf shutter. Does this exist?

Does Ricoh make anything faster than the GR1v?

Yashica Lynx 14 ( F1.4 45mm lens ) There were different versions. Something of a cult camera. Doubt it does ISO 3200 but you can check it out. 800 ISO I think but it is a 1.4 lens.

Probably not what you are looking for-but Voigtlaender's Bessamatic SLR, was available with an excellent f2 50mm Septon lens, has a leaf shutter with flash sync at all speeds, and meters to 3200. Some vibration from the reflex mirror and rear capping plate but self timer pre fires these. I own and use a Bessamatic and it is one of my favourite cameras.

yashica GL, meter up to iso 1600..
yashica lynx ? as far as i know this maximum iso is 800 or maybe 1600, but to get lynx with working meter is rare
i believe with your 3200 iso requirement, you'll stuck with newer camera. old camera mostly design for slow film, as it was the only film available at that day.

Most of the Old fixed lens leaf shutter cameras were not good at metering in low light. There are a few that were the Yashica Electros for example but, they were AE and did not go to 3200. You can easily adjust in your head for 3200 using a camera that is set at say 800 or 1600... 400 for that matter but, it would need to be full manual to make use of your calculation. I suggest a Canonet QL17 giii or Konica S2 and a small handheld meter.

Older rangefinders (and even any older camera for that matter) will not have the capacity for higher ISO's because the film was not available when they were manufactured, which is what pb908 was referring to. That's why the older you go on cameras, you will find the lower highest shutter speeds. It just wasn't neccessary to design a camera to function higher than the fastest film available.

A Fujifilm GA645zi can be made to meter at 3200. Set the ISO to 1600 and the exposure compensation to -1.
Here is an example with Ilford Delta 3200
