M6 is metering just the centre of the frame. Martin Dear All, Thanks to all who responded to my question about the behaviour of the M6 TTL meter with the 50/1.4 Summilux-M lens at wide apertures. I have been waiting for a reply to this question from Leica but so far no luck. Basically, the M6 TTL meter seems less responsive to changes in aperture around f/1.4-f/2 than at narrower apertures. Sometimes it behaves as if changing from f/1.4 to f/2 is only a half-stop difference; at other times, it doesn't respond at all. The meter always reponds normally to changes in shutter speed, however. I doubt if there's anything wrong with the camera or the lens, I just think it must a phenomenon due to vignetting, as suggested. The suggestion from list members that made the mose sense to me was that vignetting could be confusing the meter. My 50 'lux is the one previous to the current model, with separate metal slotted shade. I have tried taking readings without the shade attached but I can't see that it makes any difference. When I eventualy hear from Leica on this, I'll share their response with the list.
