I also find the meter to be highly accurate; I shot a dozen rolls of slide film (mostly Velvia) while visiting Ottawa recently, and there's scarcely a frame that is improperly exposed. As far as flash is concerned, I've never tried it. I find there isn't much I can't capture with Portra/Supra 800, or Delta/TMZ 3200--especially since hand held shots down to 1/8 sec. are possible with my 50. And I prefer not calling attention to my photography with flashing lights. Dan > I'm an amateur and the M-6 TTL is the first 35 mm camera I've used, > so I can't compare it to the M-3 or an SLR.
