Not having the crutch of automatic everything has forced me to really learn how to do things. The lightmeter in the M6 is nice, but I still use a spotmeter, especialy when shooting black/white. I recently picked up a IIIc with a 50mm/3.5 Elmar. Now the fun is really going to start. No net what so ever. feli Barney Quinn wrote: > > Feli, > > I'm with you.
