[LRflex] Re: Leicaflex meter

G'Mornin' Javier, Reg & all:

No need for such efforts.... The CDS cell has almost infinite resistance=
 when dark,  The more light strikes it, the lower it's resistance and the=
 more current it draws, thus moving the meter's needle.  Simple.  

If you want it to be OFF, just make sure the lens cap is on, or it's in a=
 dark camera case.  Better yet... both!

Cheers!

David.
