The mounts are, after >all, identical ... meter on top of the camera prevents my spiffy viewfinders from getting attached. a lugger loaned me a 35mm viewfinder that's the size of a golf ball -- tried using it but something's just weird about it.... after all these years, i'm still paranoid about under exposing so when guessing i always over expose about 3 stops. i'm tired of pitch black negatives. one great thing about ditching all my Nikon F's and F2's to get the M6 is that i started getting properly exposed negatives, ah, it was sweet! crazy thing about that m3 light meter -- it gives you the perfect exposure if someone's taking a picture OF YOU. so what i need to do is only photograph other people who have identical cameras -- then i can say "hey bob, what's your leica MR meter say?" "well, kyle, it says f4 at 1/250 second" "okay bob, thanks" CLICK!
