Metering with the sensor only is stupid beyond belief.
Given the very poor quality of Leica Firmware in their cameras- they still do not know much about digital cameras. When Leica shifted firmware development to in-house, the firmware bugs increased dramatically. The shutter advance on the M9, case in point. It was reliable with v1.176, which was developed using a contract with an Aerospace company. Once it moved to internal development- they screwed it up.
