Asking users of both, Leica M5 and M6, for input

[Christiaan Phleger]

Oh and I did figure out the F3 metering, and in many slide shooting scenarios I did find the A auto setting with the slightly narrower 80/20 metering pattern to be very effective for getting a good exposure, in particular with longer lenses. Which was a deal when shooting slide, there were no sliders on the editing program to compensate for user induced exposure errors.

I'll have to check, but I am reasonably sure that an M5 has to be cocked to meter, as well. It is only when cocked that the arm swings into position.

True

That is true!....same w the CL. So i guess it comes down to spot meter/ vs centre weight averaging
