But I KNOW that the agenda of the M6 meter - and the Sekonic - give me the "correct" exposure. And I KNOW that an exposure 1.5 stops off that "correct" exposure will not give me the exposure I expect or want. So I'm happy for the CdS and it's agenda, but I am not about to depend upon it when a client's work is at stake - which is to say my breakfast lunch and dinner.....So someday, when I can afford to indulge my whims, I'll get another M5 to play with...meantime....
