[Leica] M6 meter problem

[Jim Nichols]

Oliver,

Maybe I'm overlooking something here, but my understanding is that your 
shutter speed should be close to 1/ISO.  From what you state, I would 
guess you are over-exposing by a factor of about 6, or the equivalent of 
2.5 stops.  It sounds like a meter problem to me, but I am unfamiliar 
with the M6 metering system.
