Subject: [Leica] ISO dial on back of M6 TTL

Hmmm.  Does sunny-16 work with the set ISO dial and the meter?

On my 40 year old cameras, I don't trust the meter.  But the M6 came out
within 10 years ago.  I'd expect to trust the meter then.

Regards,

Do any others find the ISO dial less than precise. I sometimes put my
SF24 on the camera and find that a supposed ISO400 registers with the
flash as ISO320!  And like discrepancies.

A bit of dial tweaking fixes the problem, but without the SF24 or any
other confirmation, I often don't trust the ISO film speed dial on the
back of the camera.

What is a poor Leica M shooter to do?
