With slide film, you make sure not to blow the highlights (because blown highlights on slide film are not retrievable). So, to be on the safe side, lean towards overexposing print film and underexposing slide film.

I've read that in metering when using slide film, one should be particularly sensitive to the highlights. I don't own a spot meter. All I have are the M6's built in meter and a couple of incident meters. Any rules of thumb when metering for slide film using the built in meter? Thanks.
