It looks like a solar cell about 1" x 1.5". I have seen them for about $25 Canadian. I hadn't bought one before , as I didn't have slow speeds on my II, but now with the addition of a IIIa, I should go pick it up. Thanks for reminding me ;) Noel Charchuk On Tue, 14 Jul 1998 jeremy.kime@bbc.co.uk wrote: > > > Dick, > > Leitz did of course make available very small meters for sitting in the > accessory shoe, these were selenium types (for the screw cameras) and > often are innoperative now, but there are still a lot that aren't and I > see them on sale for about 30GBP (45USD).
