Subject: [Leica] M6 exposure meter

Dear Leica users,

I bought a second a second hand M6 (non TTL) last week and had my first shot
tonight.  However, I found the exposure meter is so strange, it   gave EV
lower than the EV given by Nikon FM2 or F70D, for example,

FM2 / F70D (ISO 100 film)
Shutter Speed: 1/8 - 1/10
Aperture Value: f2
EV: ~5

M6 (ISO 100 film)
Shutter Speed: 1/250
Aperture Value: f5.6
EV: 13

Does it mean that my M6 has problem?  I am new to M6 and RF camera, please
kindly help me...

Many thanks.

Best Regards,
Wenli Huang
