Advertisement Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Hi rob_x2004, Take a look here M6 TTL honest price?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
leitz_not_leica Posted June 26, 2008 Share #22 Posted June 26, 2008 "Sure the reciprocity rules at these exposures but was has this to do with the working range of a light meter ???" Because the meter is useless at these light levels. It's only for bragging rights, e.g. f0.95, is it really useful? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted June 26, 2008 Share #23 Posted June 26, 2008 Regarding the 'extended' EV range on the M6 TTL my view is that it must have some advantage. From the days when I ONLY used Weston Master V's & V1's for metering I always had problems switching ranges. The Hi & Lo range always overlapped, but did not agree. I deduced that presumably because their sensitivity is logarithmic rather than linear, towards the ends of the scale was where they lost accuracy. So I never worked at the end of one scale when I could switch into a 'better' part of another scale. Back to the M6 V's M6 TTL metering. The M6TTL with the extra 'span' on the EV scale must retaing accuracy for a greater range, even if it is not right to the end, so there is some advantage. The other, and greater variable, is how you use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedalus Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share #24 Posted June 26, 2008 Does your friend really need metered flash monitoring? if not then an M6 Classic is fine and will do everything he wants at a better price. I bought one recently from The Classic Camera in London for £799.00 which was a fair price as the camera is in mint condition. I would avoid ebay like the plague for something like this. A dealer will give you some sort of guarantee, in the case of TCC it is 6 months. Servicing on Leica cameras is not cheap so some sort of guarantee is imperative. A more important consideration is, what lens is he going to buy for his newly acquired body. A good Summicron mint 35mm can cost £895.00 and a 50mm £200.00 less. I know this as I have recently made these purchases. THanks Kenneth. Makes sense to me...I've forwarded the link to Juan so that he can now make up his mind.
