[Leica] Shooting slide film with an M6

[rangefinder at screengang.com (Didier Ludwig)]

last year I have shot about two dozen rolls of Kodachrome 64 with a 1985 M6 
(the one with only two red arrows). The metering seemed accurate to me, 
didn't use any other meter. What you have to take care is to meter exactly 
and especially avoid overexposures, as you have significantly less exposure 
tolerance than with a b&w negative film. 
Good luck.
