Meter on the camera body (film only)

[kshapero]

Any other film camera have this feature on the outside of the body (as well as in the viewfinder)?

My Contax IIIa and the old Voigtlander Vitessa, if I understand your question. Also TLRs wth meters.

The Nikon F and F2 metering finders (Photomic) do.
IIRC so does the Konica Auto S2.

Many 35mm rangefinders with selenium cell metering used an outside metering window.

Rollei 35 series excepting the SE/TE models had the match needle on the top deck.

The wonderful Bessa T has its metering info outside too, only there: as it's designed for external finders use (no internal viewfinder, only rangefinder as in Barnack Leicas) it's easy to see it while composing too...

Bessa T has the meter on the outside, but not in the finder also.

It is a cool feature, on my Nikkormat FTn.

The little lights show o the top of my Nikon F2S also, along with the ones in the viewfinder.

Minolta SR7 has it on the top plate, not sure whether it's on the viewfinder also.
I always think that it's a good-looking camera.

The Konica S2 had a needle match meter... if I recall my own experience with it well. The Canon 7, however, does have a meter with an external reading window, and, from what I've read, the meters are often wonky.

Why this question, Akiva? Just wondering? 😕 Me too...

 

[Takkun]

The Nikons were the only ones I came across (cameras with top-deck LCDs not included) that had meter needles both on top and in the finder. Just on the body seemed to be pretty common among selenium meters.

The Olympus 35LC has this feature too.

Zeiss Ikon Contaflex II

(but neither are in the finder)

Yashica Lynx 1000, also has metering in the viewfinder.

The Canon 7, however, does have a meter with an external reading window...

Topcon Super D and Contaflex Super, to name two more. (Very handy with the Contaflex, since the mirror stays up until you wind to the next frame.)

 

[ChrisPlatt]

Some of the Yashica Electro 35 series rangefinders (GSN, GTN, others) have lights on the top deck.

[Spanik]

Yashica Minister D has it on top, Petri Racer both on top and viewfinder.

The Contaflex II does have the meter display on the top left of the camera body, but it is an uncoupled meter and it does not display the meter reading through the viewfinder (Ie. the same set up as the Contaflex IV). The Contaflex models that feature both external and internal light meter displays include: the Super; New Super; Super B; Super BC and; S.

The Deluxe version of the Voigtlander Vito CLR has dual meter displays, too, and there are also many models of Canon EOS that include both.
