Canon-Meter 2, Black (P) with Pivoting Foot for Canon Rangefinder Review

The Canon-Meter 2 is a vintage external light meter designed specifically for Canon rangefinder cameras. This black P-variant includes a pivoting foot that mounts directly to the camera's accessory shoe, keeping exposure metering integrated with your shooting setup. It was designed for an era when many rangefinders lacked built-in metering, offering photographers a period-correct solution for evaluating scene brightness.

As a used item graded as "bargain" condition by KEH, this unit shows its age and use. At $88, it occupies a niche for Canon rangefinder enthusiasts who want to complete a vintage kit with original-era accessories rather than relying on modern handheld meters or smartphone apps. The pivoting foot is a practical touch that allows angle adjustment without removing the meter from the camera.
