Press fleshy part of right index finger - or middle finger - against
front edge of shutter speed dial -
Turn dial in the direction in which you want it to go.
Push shutter release.

LUGers

I have been using M2's and M3's with the MR-4 meter for many years.
Changing shutter speeds has been super easy with the large, knurled
knob/wheel, high up on the meter.

When I started to use an M6, with it's internal meter, I found it a PITA

to use the almost flush mounted, tiny shutter speed wheel.

What do you guys do?  I was tempted to design and build an extension for
the wheel/knob, but I figure that this problem has been going on for
quite a while.

Don't suggest that I put a M6ttl or M7 knob on it, as the location is
different, as is the direction of rotation.

What to do?  What to do?

Jerry
