Protective cover for Leica Meter MC (selenium cell)

• Clean look: The black cap sits discreetly over the meter window, giving it a neat, clean appearance when fitted.
• Completely covers the selenium cell: Selenium cells age through constant exposure to light. The cover darkens the light meter when you are not using it.
• Extends the cell’s service life: The Meter MC has no on/off switch. The cap protects the selenium cell’s chemistry, whether it is on a shelf or in your bag.
• Hardly available elsewhere: You will find a protective cap for the Meter MC almost nowhere else.
• Simply slides on: Designed for the honeycomb window of the Leica Meter MC.

Description

The Leica Meter MC is a classic tool for M2 and M3 users, but its technology has one weak point: the selenium cell. It reacts continuously to light and loses sensitivity over the years, a process that can be slowed by darkness. Since the Meter MC has no on/off switch, this cover is the mechanical solution: it slides onto the honeycomb window when the camera is stored on a shelf or carried in a bag. This keeps the cell protected, extends the light meter’s service life, and gives the front a clean appearance.
