piblondin Posted July 31, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 31, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is there any difference in the metering between these two cameras? I'm asking both in terms of the exposures they calculate and also how reliable the electronics are over the long-term. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richam Posted July 31, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 31, 2010 Perhaps others can comment on the reliability, but I recall that both the M6TTL and M7 have a meter with 1 EV greater sensitivity than the M6 classic. This could be an advantage if you plan on available light photography and high ISO film. I don't have the source book with me at the moment, so can't give you a direct reference on this.

tgray Posted July 31, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 31, 2010 richam is correct, but both meters are still pretty sensitive. Certainly sensitive enough for any exposure I would take handheld at any reasonable ISO (up to say 3200). Both meters in my experience calculate the same exposures as well. I have both cameras and have never noticed any difference in operation other than the obvious AE of the M7 and it's other features. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi The early cameras both M6 and M7 had some teething problems with electronics, but they should all be ok (upgraded) by now.. If you are picky a non metered camera is more reliable, where the only major problem is a shard of film in the shutter path, or very infrequently a broken ribbon... The metering is very good i.e. a simple semi spot, but needs some thought in use, unlike multi metering and software in a DSLR, but film will give more graceful degradation upon errors, unless you are using transparency.
