You are using an M6 with negative film, right? What's wrong with your M6 meter? Light up the two little arrows and shoot! When moments are happening quickly, trying to maneuver a new meter that you are unfamiliar with will lead to terminal fiddling and missed photo opportunities. Also, it's a bad idea to go into a photo shoot that is important to you with a brand new meter that you haven't tested thoroughly. Just because a meter is new doesn't mean it will be giving you the correct information. I've seen new meters that were off by two stops. Hold your M6/Noct and use the Force! Mike Gardner
