Scarlet Posted July 26, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted July 26, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have an M6TTL and like the big shutter dial because it is easy to adjust since it is close to the camera body edge. I find it ergonomic because my index finger simply falls into the right place and I can adjust the dial without having to bend my finger, which I have to do on the M3s and M4s I have used. Â The one thing I don't like about the dial is that it feels less "distinct" than the dials on the M3 and M4. What I don't like about the smaller dials, however, is that they're (to my fingers) not as easy to adjust. Â Is this just how the bigger dial is or can someone (must it be Solms?) adjust the click stops so that it feels more like the dial on the M3/M4?

TomB_tx Posted July 26, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted July 26, 2012 Just add a Leicameter MR or MR4. Its larger dial fits on top of the camera's dial and is larger and easier to set than the M6ttl - except that you can't meter through the viewfinder.

Scarlet Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share #3 Â Posted July 26, 2012 Thanks Tom. I'd prefer to stay with the M6TTL though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB_tx Posted July 26, 2012 Share #4 Â Posted July 26, 2012 Sorry, I didn't read your post carefully enough, thinking you were complaining about the small M3/M4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share #5 Â Posted July 26, 2012 No worries, it seems I caused the confusion! I see only now that the title of the thread didn't change when I edited it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xalo Posted July 26, 2012 Share #6 Â Posted July 26, 2012 The big dial on my M6TTL was more distinctly clicking than the smaller one on my M6 (had them both at the same time). The latter one was diagnosed and repaired as worn out (some spring?) when I sold it in a shop. It did not go to Solms for this. The metal dials of my current Ms seem still a little more firm, I think, but perhaps that's the smaller grip due to the diameter. Alexander Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiralx Posted July 26, 2012 Share #7 Â Posted July 26, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes, the fiddly smaller dial is the main reason I got rid of my MP. Can't say I noticed a difference in the firmness of the detents though. Â Now I have the M5 which has the best shutter speed dial of all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
