Ok, we have a beautiful morning here with some fresh snow.
I made some readings with my R3 and the 90mm summicron and compared them to my
Nikon FA. ISO set to 100, I pointed my R3 to the blue sky and fresh white snow.
In integral reading my R3 gives f8 and 1/250. My FA in matrix mode agrees
fully. But in selective (spot) mode the R3 gives f8 and 1/125.
Do R4-R7 cameras react the same way?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Miha

Dear present & past R3 users,
can someone explain the logic behind the Leica R3MOT meter to me. In (very)
bright light the meter reads about 1-2 EV more when used in integral mode. In
dim light, like cloudy day, open shade or even under contrasty but dim interior
lights the readings are identical in selective and integral mode.
I was reading grass, white walls, etc that were evenly lit.
Thanks,
Miha
