Hi Nelson, I have no experience with Kodak Portra 160NC, but use to shoot a lot of NPS and NPH. And yes, I tend to prefer NPS at ASA 100. BUT, that is because of the way my particulab prints NPS. If I switch lab, I may reconsider that. About the white spot on the M6, I don't have the M6TTL, but assuming they are similar in this respect, yes the white spot is supposed to cover the whole metering area; whether that is 100%, 95%, 98%, or 103%, I don't know. I remember that Leica claims the diameter of the spot being approximately 12mm on the film, which translates to about 1/3 of the long side of the frameline being used. That's what I have always used, and it works for me. - Phong
