That is certainly possible. I try to remember how the spot looks in the viewfinder (just outside the edges of the inner frame, and about 2/3 the linear dimensions of the outer frame, the one I use to shoot), but I'm not sure how good I am at that. The sharp transition on the M6 may be throwing me off, too, as my only previous experience has been with tiny spot meters and with true center-weighted meters, whereas this is sort of a spot meter with a giant spot. > The most difficult thing I had to learn was to quit > adjusting the exposure when I raised the camera to my > eye and saw the red leds indicating that I was under > or over exposed. Hmm. I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here. Aren't you supposed to adjust exposure so that only the center LED is lit? -- Anthony
