IMPROVE? That amazingly accurate meter is the reason why my main camera is always the M6, followed by an M2 or M3 as backup (or more likely my CL, since it has a meter, too). I've carried around or clipped meters on M's for 30 years and am delighted to leave a LunaSix in the camera bag until truly needed. The only disadvantage of the M6 meter is that I also added a separate self-timer to the gadget bag. It is the smallest substitute for a tripod for when the light is low and a rock or shelf is handy. Too bad the battery compartment on the M6 had to replace the built-in self-timer. Paul, why don't you "improve" your M6 by just taking out the batteries :-). Gary Todoroff
