The M-series are not designed for rapid-fire sequences at slower shutter speeds. Solution: wait 'till you hear the timing mechanism stop buzzing before you fire off another shot, else you'll get the too-short exposures that you have noticed. Your M6 is just fine; I've owned 3 M's myself, and all of them behave in exactly this manner. It's a little annoying, but in actual practice, it doesn't make a big difference, as you will not likely be in a great hurry to take a number of shots at 1 sec! - --------------------------------------------------- Specializing in interesting, quality junk.
