Leicameter question

[splitimageview]

Looking at the Leicameter MC, MR, MR-4, etc...question about the 'channels.'

When taking a reading, the needle points to a particular silver or black section.

The manuals refer to 9 channels, but there are 6 silver sections (the first one having the -0- indicator) and 5 black ones -- a total of 11.

Which ones are the actual 9 channels, and which two aren't?

The attached chart is for the Leicameter MC, showing the light values for the three measuring levels (red dot, black dot, and booster)

Which ones are the actual 9 channels, and which two aren't?

I went looking at the Technical Data for my MR4, and on pg 18 (last page), part of the channel explanation question may lie in the MR meter's F-stop range. Not so much a black-silver count. Here's what my manual says: A Measurement at 100,000 apostilbs/9,200 footlamberts is possible. The indicator needle will then pass channel 9 in range 2. What also interesting is that even the calibration values are different on my MR4, than your MC.

I photographed the page in question and it's attached..
