Some things to be aware of.  The M6TTL metering goes down to -2EV, the LATE
M6 metering goes down to -1EV and the early M6 metering goes down to 0EV.
How to tell an early from a late M6 is to put the lense cap on and if the
LEDs blink, it's a late model one.

That is if low light metering performance matters to you ;-)

Regards,

Austin
