Metering Cell Emulated Board for Leica Camera [UPCOMING V4 - DEC 2024]

Leica CL Metering Cell Replacement

A drop-in metering cell replacement for the Leica CL camera. Noted that metering calibration is necessary and the installation requires soldering. For professionals only. 

Revision History

• December 2024:
  • Delayed release due to SMT manufacturing difficulties, where the LDR components damaged during high temperature reflow process.     
• October 2024:
  Production batch (V4) will be available in early December 2024 Jan 2025, with the following improvements:
  • Improved linearity of light response verse resistance change
  • Improved metering accuracy in low-light environment 
• February 2024:
  All V3 engineering samples are out of stock. We are waiting for feedback from Leica specialists and customers.
• November 2023:
  Engineering Sample V3 Released:
  • Closer and centered cell placements to reduce vignette at small apertures. Maximizing light exposure.
  • Low-temperature hand soldering is used to preserve LDR lifespan.
  • Tinned soldering pad for easy installation.
• September 2023:
  Engineering Sample V2 Released:
  
  • Removed adjustable resistor.
  • Added light dependent resistor (LDR). Total LDRs = 3.
• June 2023:
  Engineering Sample V1 Released:
  • First prototype released for public testing.
