After having the oppertunity to use it for a week, I have to say that this is an excellent little meter and close to perfect for any meterless camera. The big improvement over the initial VC meter is the addition of an exposure lock. The meter will now hold a reading for circa 10-15 seconds, after activation, allowing you to set the dials and read the proper exposure. The unit will meter continiously if you keep the activation button depressed. Voigtlander managed to cut the new unit's height in half, by repositioning the battery compartment. Over all the VC meter II gave nearly identical readings as my M6TTL. My only real complaint is the inablility to lock the iso settings dial firmly. It can easily be changed, if accidentially brushed against. I solved that problem with a small sliver of grip tape... At $179 (Photo Village), it's not exactly cheap, but it is very well made, extremely compact and IMO the best of it's breed.
