Is it true that the TTL version >can read a lower EV value? Supposedly, the M6TTL meter's range extends one 1 EV lower than the M6. How useful that is depends upon what your needs are. I've not bounced into the 'out of range' area at the bottom of the sensitivity yet. >who has either owned or used both see a big advantage -- metering or >otherwise -- to the TTL version? The TTL flash metering is no big deal to me, I hardly use flash. I do like the improved meter readout (three LEDs instead of two) and I like the M6TTL's larger shutter control and dedicated off switch on the shutter dial. Other than that, I can't see as it makes all that much difference. I happened to look into Don Chatterton's website today and saw that he has a deal running on M6TTLs: $1695 if purchased with a new Leica lens right now, quantities limited. <http://donchatterton.com/> Godfrey
