But wasn't there an issue with the very early M6 models to do with excessive consumption - I think that at some point, the circuitry was updated, around the same time that the metering sensitivity was increased - or is my memory defective? The move from Wetzlar to Solms is roughly when I think it was.

Even when I have several trips and shoot 14 or more rolls it will take a year to run it down.
