Subject: [Leica] M6 metering question
From: Cmrausr@aol.com
Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 11:17:25 EST

I have just purchased an M6 body used, and  it did not come with the 
instructions. I've been using M bodies for years, so everything was pretty 
straightforward except figuring out the part of the viewfinder area covered 
by the meter. Would someone be kind enough to let me know what the coverage 
area is? I've run a roll of Velvia through the body, and with average 
lighting it seems dead on, but I'd still like to know more about what tha 
meter sees, and how it is weighted.

TIA
