I shot several rolls of Technical Pan film in the M3 using the VCII. Tech
Pan is not known for having great latitude, but the exposures came out very
well. It seems to be about as good as my handheld Gossen digital.

Hmmm, the meter in the M6TTL is more sensitive than in the classic, and the
VC meter II seems
to match it quite well, even around f1.4@1/30th @400asa. I would have to do
some more tests, to tell
for sure. It would also be interesting to compare the meter spec sheet to
each other.
