thanks.

i dial in f1.0 or f1.4 and get handy changing the shutter speed
with thumb and forefinger of the right hand (i use classics)! i just
have to pick a film that's not too fast to shoot
at f1.0 or f1.4.  the one disadvantage of the m6 is the limited
set of shutter speeds, so you need to be careful choosing the film
for the job.

the neopan was fine in the church, but a bit too fast for
the classroom photos... i was shooting 1/1000 for all of them at f1.4.
if i did the classroom again with its big windows, i'd use HP5+ @ EI 400.
