I can almost always carefully find & measure an area I deem to be "average" with the M6 meter & if I either open up or select the next longer shutter speed I almost always get the same exposure my Luna Pro Digital meter gives me in the incident mode. Obviously in back-lit situations I solely rely on an incident reading, as the M6 meter is usually much further than one stop off the correct reading. I will add that most in-board camera metering systems I've used have had this type metering bias built in. - -----Original Message----- From: Xavier Logean [mailto:xavier.logean@epfl.ch] Sent: Monday, February 14, 2000 10:53 AM To: LUG Subject: [Leica] Luna pro F vs. M6 meter Hi all, I recently bought a M3 and finally bought a 2nd hand lunasix F or luna pro F meter. When comparing the metering of my M6 and the one of the lunasix F I found a difference of 1 to two stop with indoors artificial light but no difference with other lights. It is the same when I compared that with the measures of the sekonic 508 of one of my friend. Is that normal ? Is my lunasix F too old ? Thanx Xavier.
