    This mirrors my own experiances as well. I use a Pentax LX, a camera
that has a very well regarded meter... I find that my percentage of
accurately exposed slides goes up with the M6. I think that it has to do
with me being involved in every shot. With print film, it doesn't really
matter, but slides, you have to be careful!
