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. : : Don Dory : dorysrus@mindspring.com : : -- : To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html : - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
