As you rotate the camera the orientation of the spot on the shutter sees a different world as the axis of rotation of your M6 is around the eyepiece which is definitely not centered on the camera. So, what to do about it? If you have metered the scene in question to your satisfaction then ignore the meter. The light has not changed. If you imagine the meter reading a circle inside the next longer focal length (use the 90 when using the 50) in your finder and treat that as a spot meter then you can employ a modified zone system to set your exposure. Unless a cloud passes by or someone turns off a light then use that exposure until something changes. Relax, take more of those simple appealing images that you show too infrequently and enjoy your life with your daughter and the four footed people that inhabit your home.
