You can get a really nice to mint one in the $100-$150 range. But as long as you find an average spot in the scene with color negative or B&W film & meter that or meter for highlights with slide film you should get most exposures correct with the M6 meter. - -----Original Message----- From: roger.aru [mailto:roger.aru@dial.pipex.com] Sent: Friday, September 03, 1999 1:24 PM To: leica-users Subject: [Leica] Whether to buy a seperate meter? I read an article in a photo mag the other day advocating the purchase of a seperate hand held meter for incident light readings in situations where conditions are a bit problematic. I have an M6 an will admit to the odd unsucessfull exposure though inexpert use. Should this advice be followed, or is it simply a matter of practise in using the M6's meter?
