The second ,in my opinion, most stupid feature is having to use the shutter 
speed
dial
to switch of the light meter. I like to keep my shutter speed set at 1/250 
or 1/125
sec.

I am sure Leitz could easy find another way of switching the light meter on 
or off.
But they don't seem to be to interested.

[Austin] Well, the non TTL-Flash version of the M-6 switches on the light 
meter when you push the shutter button slightly...and it automatically 
turns off either after the shutter button is fully depressed (especially 
when using non-Leica lenses ;-) or after a number of seconds....so that HAD 
it right (in my book) before they 'fixed' it...
