John,
to me the meter on the little Rollei is its "weakest" point. It is
somewhat erratic, and when you are used to the M6, it is insensitive.
Although having a meter is nice, it may be better value to accept the
camera needs an more reliable and accurate external one. Having said
that, it is good in standard shooting conditions, but then in many of
these you can use sunny 16 anyway.
Cheers
