I've used mine on a Nikon S2000 and it looks great....very accurate and works with the double shoe that CV also made.
Cool Setup!

I used mine when I had the Leica M2 for a while, and it was great !!!
Now I'm not using it anymore since I got the Leica M7 ;-)
I think that I'll sell it soon, anyone interested?!?

Yes, I am. I would LOVE an M7, but will be perfectly content with the meter. I will PM you!
In the past I have used my meter (a Sekonic Twinmate) just as a backup to Sunny-16, but I'm shooting more indoors and at night, and would like to have a small meter right on the camera for tricky lighting situations.

Any pics of a black VC 2 meter on a silver body?

That's what I'm going for, myself. Plus it will match my meterless black Canon 7!

I guess was the LeicaMeter 1 then. I used it for 20 years of taking slides, with which exact metering is important. It worked fine for that, except for the normal stuff: into the sun, back lighting, and very low light. Mine was cosmetically, and physically trashed (as well as a dead cell) so I chucked it a couple of years ago. Now I wish I still had it. It would be simple to replace the cell, I guess. Thanks again.
I just remembered I asked the RFF forum about a replacement and that is how I whent with the VC 2.

Here you are:

Leica IIIf, don't mind the lens, I made it from a disposable camera.
Ah, but you've intrigued me now! I presume that this is some sort of wide angle lens? Would you be able to provide some details and sample shots? Looks interesting. Do tell please 😉

I remember that thread...it's on here somewhere...the images were surprisingly good, even too good! A very cool project.

WAY OT: What is nice about it you can use it like a box camera or meter (VC 2, that brings it back to the thread) for low light situations

No, It's a disposable camera lens which I mounted with a washer and two adapters, and a little glue. It proved to be too good so I went with a Instamatic lens. Here is the disposable lens at work:

There is a lanyard that the VC II can attach to. It's a hotshoe with a red string attached. It comes in a blue pouch like the VFers come in. I don't think Camerquest has them anymore, but I did do a google search and found one. I think it's a store in New York that had them for sale.
OK, I found the box. It's made by Voigtlander--called a strap adapter, or adaptersicherung.
