With the current meter spot on the M6 a TTL flash will be all but useless. Now it's a spot meter. You meter where you know the hot spot is hitting the right tones, then you compose and shoot. Try that with a flash. You would change your composition to meet the needs of the meter, and you can only get a TTL reading from the spot on the shutter curtain at the moment of the exposure. A plain old center weighted meter would be better, but those of us who have come to love TTL flash have grown acustom to MATRIX metering. Here's my point. Leica has to have figured this out, so my guess is that the new TTL body comes with a new metering pattern(s), which would make it truly an upgrade. Or they haven't figured it out, and then . . . yawn. Tom ================================== Thomas Kachadurian WEB PAGE: http://members.aol.com/kachaduria
