The View Meter 9 was the first CdS light meter with a measuring angle of just 9 degrees. Thus it was the predecessor of Minolta's famous Spot-Meters which had a measuring angle of 1 degree. The nine degrees of the View Meter 9 were narrow enough that a viewfinder with round bright-frame was implemented parallel to the CdS cell's lens. On the side the meter has a lever to switch from low to high EV-range. On the axis of the lever is the button to fire the meter. After releasing the button the meter's instrument pinpoints the actual EV of the spotted measuring area.
