Q: 4. An M6 (non-TTL) has a battery operated light meter - does this light meter set the shutter speed automatically or just recommend a shutter speed?

A: No, it does not. While the Leica M6 has a built-in battery-operated light meter, the light meter simply assists you with setting a correct exposure in-camera without an external light meter. However, the camera is still completely manual, and requires you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. The only 35mm film rangefinder camera from Leica that offered automatic exposure was the Leica M7 35mm Film Rangefinder Camera.
