Good morning everyone, today by chance looking to my M6 shutter curtain and i noticed small black dots on the metering area , i would like to ask if it is normal or should i go for a CLA!

Thank you !

Hello Nino, welcome here 😀

- if your pictures from the M6 has some trouble with the meter, yes

- if the M6 needs CLA, just take it for that, asking the repairer if he/she can do something on the whiting

...

- in the other cases, don't bother, just put more films in, take pictures with this nice M, then go ahead and use it happily

 

paint can peeled off after some time,

in my view, this may be just 1/5 at most of EV, largely better than shutter speeds tolerance of M6 mechanically controlled.

I have 2 M6, both of them look like yours.  I would, therefore, call yours "normal".
