Perhaps that circle is a weak link whenever shooting infra-red film. >> I'd like to second that. Definitely a Leica M6 is not designed to use IR film (It lacks focus correction marks, for example). I would suggest the following: Use a handheld meter for the IR work, aim at your target with the film advance lever NOT woundand with an attached lens cap. As soon as your image is properly composed, remove the lens cap, advance the film and shoot as quickly as possible. SLR cameras are better in that aspects, because the SLR mirror helps keeping away the IR radiation from the film. I have never tried that for myself, but maybe you give it a try.
