Re: M6 TTL exposure meter

Ollie:
Email Larry Welker, lwelker@xxxxxxxxxxxx, to inquire about his M6/M6 TTL switch "The Rose". It screws on in place of the battery cover and allows you to turn off the meter without disturbing the shutter speed dial.

Thanks to all who gave me tips on the second camera. I settled on buying an M6TTL with a Summicron-M 1.2 lens.

However, according to the instruction booklet, the LEDs should indicate correct spot metering when the two triangular LEDs points towards each other.

I get a round red dot. Furthermore in playing with the metering system, it's hard to get the metering systems to change unless I'm pointing it directly at a bright light source, whether it's open wide or step-down.

Is there a possible problem with weak batteries or am I expecting too much from the exposure meter? Perhaps being a new user, I need to gain a better understanding of how the meter system works and what to expect.

Thanks,

Ollie
