: Lea, I think your post for help has already been answered but I'll lay in
my
: two cents.  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.
