I recently (6 months) switched from years of matrix (non Leica) to M and faced lots of different light situations, previously solved by multi pattern. Few words to say: the M6 meter is simply great and very accurate. You feel at home after few rolls and there are almost no situations this meter can't successfully manage. I just trained myself a lot during the first weeks. Just my experience...
