I have an M4-2, must I get an M6?

I find that in bright sunlight the Sunny-16 rule is easy to use for me but under low light conditions or when I want to shoot porttraits at 4 or 5.6 and blur the background I do relie on a meter for that purpose.

I use both the M4-2 and M6TTL, with a Leicameter MR on the M4-2. The battery doesn't empty very fast so it works fine. When you don't need the 28mm frames the M4-2 is a great and reliable camera. The M6TTL's meter is great and I love it a lot, but the choice between the two would be difficult for me. If there isn't a really urgent reason to get rid of the M4-2 I would keep it and enjoy it, with a handheld meter.

Enjoy it,

can you even do this indoors? or in a big hall with no tungsten light but only light through windows 10 meters high?

 

I really want to get to that point (too).

 

This is what I found the most difficult with my M3. However, this past Xmas that camera was in the shop being repaired and I only had access to my Leica II which, naturally, only goes from 1/20th to 500. With the wide exposure latitude of b/w and Portra I discovered that it was ok to use 1/20 for most indoor shots where there was no brighter light source in the frame.

 

That said, I love having a meter in-camera.

 

And if I ever grow tired of having the meter, well then I'll just remove the batteries.

 

cheers
