[Leica] SL help!

Help!!

I just purchased a SL and while the camera fires perfectly, there seem to
be some problems with it.  Firstly,  looking through the viewfinder, the
image appears a little musky (brownish?) in color.  Is that typical for
these cameras?  I was under the impression that the SL had a very bright
viewfinder, but this one isn't as bright as my R cameras.  Also can someone
enlighten me as to how the metering system works on these cameras and what
does that little arm in the viewfinder do?  I suspect that there may be
something wrong with the camera's meter as the needle just sits at the top
of the viewfinder unless I press the switch and then while I hole it down,
it sits at the bottom.  It never stays anywhere in between no matter which
shutter/aperature combination I use.


Thanks,

James

P.S.  It is a very impressive looking and feeling camera!!
