Shoe Mounted Lightmeter For Leica M Bodies?

[das]

KEKS is a company that makes light meters. Evidently, they have teased on social media that they will be announcing a new model inspired by the Leicameters of yore on the 8th of March this year.

That would be very cool to have a new meter coupled to the shutter speed dial.

I have the Reflx Lab light meter very small, easy to use and takes a battery rather than recharging

I use the Reflex Lab version. Quite nice.

I used the keks KM02 for years on my m4-p before upgrading to an m6 with a light meter built in. I had a great experience with it. It's accurate and you can dial in the exposure as you want through the menu. My only complaint is I kind of wish the screen was on the top rather than the rear so I wouldn't need to hold it up to eye level to meter. You can also set it to do constant metering so you don't have to hit a button to meter each time which is nice.

They also have a larger meter that ties into your shutter speed dial for faster adjustments which would be intriguing to me if I was still using an M body without a meter.
