Also, your info says you use an M6 and M7. Do you manual meter the M7 as well? best...Peter

Peter - thanks for your generous review. Yes, I really ought to update my info :-)
I started my project around 18 months ago with an M7 thinking that auto-exposure would be helpful, but I quickly became unhappy letting the camera do the driving. The meter is certainly precise if you have time to take a proper reading from a mid-tone, but I find it too random when quick fire shooting. I also had a lot of electronics problems which weren't resolved to my satisfaction, so I switched to an M6 and used that instead for several months. I eventually sold it in exchange for an MP as I wanted the better viewfinder.
The MP is my main street camera, but I also use an M8, though again only on manual mode. I find the M8 meter is even worse than the M7 for grab shots :-)
