<< i guess the point i am trying to make, the question i am asking, regards
 how critical accurate exposure is to a photograph, given the latitude one
 has when printing the final resu >>

I would be very happy if an M6 shutter were within 1/4 of a stop.   It looks
like Dominque's shutter was more accurate than this criterion.  His shutter
was within a tenth of a stop for almost all speeds.  This is pretty amazing
accuracy for a mechanical shutter.  It is nice to know that an M^ can be this
accurate.
