Ther are three models that I am familiar with - the MC, MR & MR4. They all fit in the hot shoe (finder shoe) and couple with the shutter speed dial. The MC is a wide angle sort of thing with a honeycomb element that gathers light. The other two have a narrow window equal to a 90mm lens and have a setting for low light and bright light measurements. The MR4 differs from the MR in that the activation button is on top so that your >finger doesn't hit the button when rewinding film on the M4 models. I use a MR meter on my cameras and it's spot on. Batteries are now a problem though. You can use it on any camera with a shoe and even hand held. You lose the shutter speed coupled function though. Regards Ben Holmes
