meter on top of the camera prevents my spiffy viewfinders from getting
attached. a lugger loaned me a 35mm viewfinder that's the size of a golf
ball -- tried using it but something's just weird about it....  after all
these years, i'm still paranoid about under exposing so when guessing i
always over expose about 3 stops. i'm tired of pitch black negatives. one
great thing about ditching all my Nikon F's and F2's to get the M6 is that
i started getting properly exposed negatives, ah, it was sweet!

crazy thing about that m3 light meter -- it gives you the perfect exposure
if someone's taking a picture OF YOU. so what i need to do is only
photograph other people who have identical cameras -- then i can say "hey
bob, what's your leica MR meter say?" "well, kyle, it says f4 at 1/250
second" "okay bob, thanks" CLICK!
