Subject: [Leica] Low light and Leicaflex SL
From: "Dragi Anevski" <dragia@hotmail.com>

Does anybody know what the sensitivity of the light meter in a Leicaflex SL 
is? I bought an SL, and had to recalibrate the meter, but it still seems to 
be off in low light situations. I thought it should manage 100 ASA, 1/15 
sec, 2.0, but it doesn't seem to. Is this normal? I ended up with 
underexposed nice shots on Ektachrome 100 of my parents with the 90 
Summicron... But it seemed to be alright for outdoor shots. I have tried to 
compare it to my Gossen Mastersix (I know I shouldn't compare meters but 
:-)) and they agree for light subjects, but the SL's meter is off by a few 
steps for low lights.


Thanks,
Dragi
