Subject: [Leica] M6 Meter Sensitivity
From: "Gary Williams" <nasmformyzombie@mindspring.com>

I have a chance to pick up a very nice Wetzlar M6, but am wondering
about the meter.  Later versions of the M6 (circa 1988) have move
sensitive meters (EV -1 to EV 20) vs. (EV 0 to EV 20).  For practical
purposes, in low light with a Summicron lens, what is gained with the
additional sensitivity?  Does one need a Noctilux to demonstrate the
difference?
