They tend to cause me to spend too much time thinking about the settings and less about the picture. The TTL meter is handy. I wouldn't want to be without the M6. I have it and use it, but I find that I worry less about exact exposure when using my M2 or M4. My preferred R cameras are the R3 and earlier for the same reason. The needles don't demand my attention the same way the flashing lights do. I wish I could get my Mamiya M7 II with an analog display!
