I recently acquired an M-6 TTL to go along with a IIIf I bought in 1956. I notice that the meter gives me the same exposure with and without a K2 yellow filter. Is this the usual case?

B&H lists their K2 filters as +0.75 to +1.0 stop depending on the manufacturer.

Thanks for responding. I know the compensation is .75 to 1.0 stops. The M-6 manual suggests that the meter may compensate for the yellow filter but not for orange, red, etc. So I was hoping I wouldn't have to do the compensation for the yellow manually. I guess not. Dave
