I don't think I saw this mentioned but you can also meter M lenses using DOF preview. If you hold the DOF preview lever the meter is fully functional. You can turn the aperture ring or change the shutter speed and the meter responds accordingly.

I find the green button and the DOF Preview meter 1 to 2 stops over. So I work either of two ways using M lenses. Set an aperture hit the green button then adjust the shutter speed 1 to 2 stops or hit the green button then adjust the aperture 1 to 2 stops.

I occasionally use the DOF preview but I started out using the Green button so my habit is to use the Green button.
