[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I measured once exposure on grey card. The results were the same. In practical situations, I found, M6 measures exposure better or consistent then my FM2, because M6 is more center and it does not weight the results!? Or the lens can bring more light from shade areas!? Or M6 has better EV sensitivity then any camera on the market!?...Just guessing. My Nikon measures better light for slides then negatives, I had to learn how to correct ISO for negative films.
