Hello,

i have a question about the meteringsystem in a gx rollei
is it a spot, integral, or average?
Where have they put the sensor of the metering?

just under the matglass?
or......

thanks

best regards,

ciao

The metered area is pretty small, maybe the size of a US dime. I don't quite understand the metering technically but it somehow measures off points on the focus screen.
 
The sensor is behind the semi-transparent mirror. It's a center-weighted meter. Imagine a 20mm measuring circle in the center of the focus screen.
