I guess I'm just lazy in wanting to be able to meter with the on board system. I do have a handheld meter , a Gossen Starlight , great meter but not exactly pocketable. The metering question was whether to get the lens machined by Malcolm Taylor as Jem Kime had done , also I believe Jonathan Eastland . I have spoken with Jem today and he was very pleased with the work. It allows metering with the M6 , but with about a 1 stop adjustment.Probably best to leave well alone , if I'm thinking of getting an ASPH 21.
