- Protection for the selenium cells: Prevents burnout and aging of the light meter due to constant exposure to light.
- Longer lifespan of the metering technology: Selenium cells lose sensitivity under constant exposure; covered, the measurement remains accurate longer.
- Sits in front of the sensor: Covers the metering cell and follows the shape of the Canon 7.
Design & idea: based on "DoNotLeaN" (Thingiverse).

Description
The Canon 7 is a rangefinder camera with a Leica screw mount and an integrated selenium-based light meter. The selenium cells chemically change and lose sensitivity when exposed to light continuously—even when stored on a shelf.
This cover shields the light meter when you’re not using the camera. This protects the metering technology and keeps the light measurement accurate for longer.

Superb, works perfectly!
What a great idea! The Canon 7 rangefinder is an excellent camera, but most of the meters have long since expired. Ausgeknipst produces a meter cover that fits great and improves the appearance of the Canon 7. If you are lucky enough to have a Canon 7 that has a working meter, then the Ausgeknipst meter cover does a good job protecting the meter. Price is very reasonable. Thank you, Ausgeknipst!
