Ben,

I was thinking the same thing. That technique worked fine with my Weston
Master IV, but it's a real pain with the M6. A couple of times I tried to
take a reading from the hand, note the difference, adjust the exposure on
the camera check again etc. I don't even know why I tried. You can usually
find some grass, blue sky, old asphalt or someone else's skin to meter
from. Or use sunny 16, or guess, or......
