Hey Sonny; Nothing you've said makes the M6 a necessary item in my camera bag. I've got a spot meter that I use for subjects that allow it and a Lunasix digital that gives me incident or reflected. In fast-moving situations, it sounds as though you preset the exposure, even with an M6. that's all I need to know. Thanks. I'd still like to try one.

Just get out there and take pictures until you get used to the M6. It is not that critical in most cases. If you are into high precision, then you need a spot meter, not the internal meter. With the M6, I would just about always go with what the camera said, for print film. If I was not close enough to get an exposure off a person's face, I usually would take a reading off my hand. This went for M5's and m7's which I also used. Tina said she often would take her exposure off the ground in front of her as a useful base exposure. -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com http://sonc.stumbleupon.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana (+31.754164,-093.099080) USA ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/ __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
