What happened was strange. The M6 showed both LEDs (i.e. proper exposure) at 1/8 sec at ALL APERATURES from f4 to f11!!! Try it and you'll see what I mean. Something in the design of the M6's meter renders it totally useless for metering CRTs!! possible reason: the M6 meter measures light reflecting from the white spot painted (painted?) onto the shutter curtain. Does this lead to light polarization?
