The KM02 is the latest light-meter from Keks with groundbreaking new features to make your film photography life easier. Slot it into your film camera's hot-shoe slot and relax, knowing that you can trust it's exposure readings for fast and accurate photography.
The Keks KM02 is a premium model of light-meter - in comparison to the compact Keks KMQ. It has a larger display with more information about the scene, easy exposure compensation, aperture settings that can be set in third-stops, and the capacity to store detailed information about three different cameras/lenses from your kit.
This last feature is particularly useful - one of my favourites! It means that the KM02 light-meter won't recommend settings outside of your kit's capability (for example shutter speeds faster than can be achieved, or aperture sizes that the lens doesn't have).
The KM02 uses a VEML7700 high accuracy ambient light 16-bit digital resolution sensor, for high accuracy and reliability in difficult lighting situations.
The Keks KM02 charges via USB-C input (cable included) and each charge should last a minimum of 21 hours of always-on use.
Picked this up for my m3, tried a seconik first but this thing fits well, is accurate, and has intuitive controls once you get the hang. Will def be keeping

Canon P & Keks KM02 with a bit of 400TX sprinkled in
This is a review of two products I recently bought from Analogue Wonderland, with the help of a few Wonderpoints.
I had already bought the diminutive KEKS KMQ in black, which is a great little lightmeter. I wanted a silver one to match my Canon P, and the KM02 was on offer so after very little thought, I decided to treat myself. TRI-X 400 was available at a good price so it seemed rude not add a few rolls to the order.
I attached my Jupiter 12 to the P and headed off to my favourite piece of railway architecture, the viaduct at Harringworth. The KM02 is easier to set up and use than the KMQ, and offers more settings. You can add different lens/camera combinations to the memory. I shot the Tri-X at 200 as it was a nice sunny day. The lightmeter coped well with the tricky lighting conditions, although it seemed to slightly overexpose.
The lightmeter looks great on the camera and overall works well.
Really pleased with this purchase from Analogue Wonderland

Isn't kek slang for laughter or something?
Anyway... this meter is very accurate but very slight movements can change the exposure, I always air on the side of over exposure. It's a bit fiddly for fat fingers and I'm not super impressed with the battery life. I just prefer incident metering to be honest, but this is better than fumbling with an app on your phone I suppose.

Awesome, accurate and well built
I have been looking for a camera mount light meter for a while now. Ive purchased a few of the other well known brands but have never been completely happy - either they were not accurate or the build quality was so poor I didn't trust them. I ordered the KEKS KM02 based in strong reviews, but didn't expect much. This light meter hs proven to be better than the reviews. It hs changed my whole shooting flow. Mounted on my Hasselblad 500 CM it makes shooting so much easier - point, measure, shoot. No more digging out my (trusty) 308, walking over , taking a measurement walking back etc... In fact it now has a permanent home on that camera. Only problem is now I have to buy another one for my other cameras to share!! Absolutely recommend this to any photographer.
