Greg,

what do you mean, "if true"? Would I lie to you? ;=)

I think it has a way of compressing the coupling ring to grip the meter when
using, but relaxing to allow shutter speed dial rotation during exposure. I
think. 

I definitely has flshing red lights, tho.

Alistair

If true, it's a great idea for the Cosina body, but probably a no go for a
leica SM, as the shutter speed dials rotates when fired. The only "coupling"
could be with the shutter speed dial.

OK,

here is what you all really need. There will be a Cosina LTM-coupled meter
out real soon. It sits in the hot shoe, as you would expect. Not sure how it
couples. 

You heard it here first. 

My source: Tom A, in conversation late last night. Apparently he expects to
have his black prototype waiting for him in Vancouver upon his return there
Tuesday.

In the meantime, check out the gossen pilot.

jeff,

its small, certainly smaller than a current luna pro, though bigger i must
admit than a matchbox. it's pretty snappy...
