Hi Frank -

It's very good.  Trust it.  For tricky situations, meter on something about
Zone V.  It's easy to make slight adjustments looking at the intensity of
the red arrows in the viewfinder.  Practice!!

Black and white is always preferred!!!  No kidding - color and black and
white are both great.  The APO lens are justified with the color
transparencies, but still great with black and white.  Congratulations on
your M6.  Have fun!
