I'm new with the M6 and I'd like to know how to meter properly...
I'm just back from Kosovo where I brought two M bodies (M6 and M4) and two
summicrons (35 and 50).
Since I did not really know how to measure with the M6, I finally ended up
with the M4 and an incident exposure meter. I only made B&W shots with
either Tri-X or Plus-X.
