Last time I checked, it doesn't. It tells me what setting to dial in if I want the object the meter is reading to be rendered as a mid tone. I found it quite helpful to look at the size of the dot on the shutter and be able to then realize what the approximate meter sensitivity is when I'm looking through the range finder. I hadn't even noticed that white dot when I first got my M6. Until this discussion came up previously, I was ignorant. If I wanted an auto everything camera so that I didn't have to know how to create an image, I wouldn't have bought a Leica. I see nothing wrong with trying to figure out how one's gear works. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions. C'mon, Ted. You're a master at this. By now, photography and Leicas are second nature to you. Why belittle somebody trying to learn? I'd rather Dan asked questions about how his Leica works than read messages about how broken, used cameras aren't pristine like new ones. Or what lens is best at f5.6 with no more than a 4x enlargement. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
