Wenli,
If we assume your other cameras have been giving you good pics, then there
is 
a problem with your M6.  First question to ask is did you set the proper ISO

speed on the back of the M6?  That would be the most likely source of the 
difference.

<< Dear Leica users,
  I bought a second a second hand M6 (non TTL) last week and had my first
shot
 tonight.  However, I found the exposure meter is so strange, it   gave EV
 lower than the EV given by Nikon FM2 or F70D, for example,
  FM2 / F70D (ISO 100 film)
 Shutter Speed: 1/8 - 1/10
 Aperture Value: f2
 EV: ~5
 
 M6 (ISO 100 film)
 Shutter Speed: 1/250
 Aperture Value: f5.6
 EV: 13
 
 Does it mean that my M6 has problem?  I am new to M6 and RF camera, please
 kindly help me...
  Many thanks.
  Best Regards,
 Wenli Huang
