Your skills/knowledge/experience could give me a headstart in my journey with

the mp.

 

Where and how do you folks go about metering with your leica?

 

I am fairly comfortable with my nikons and its metering. besides, i have the rgb histo

and chimping, and exp. compensation etc., I also know the area that is being metered

and assigned the weighting factors.

 

my first roll with the mp ( tmax 400 ) was horrid..overexposed, underexposed...all over the place. wonderful experience though.

 

is the mp metering more like the nikon spot with a larger area or nikon cw with a smaller

measured area.

 

Please share with me your experience and skill and give me a headstart.

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

Hello,

 

I just had exactly the same experience with my M7. I used a Ilford Delta 400 and got it back yesterday; some (but plenty) over- and underexposed photo's on my B&W sheet

I'm really wondering what I did 'wrong'. The photo's were taken in the 'Automatic' mode

 

I'm new new to the Leica M camera series. So far it is rather different (difficult?) than my Leica R8 camera's.

 

Greetings,

 

Roel
