Item is in better condition than described
I am really satisfied with this purchase. When I bought it i thought that the light meter would not be working as described by the seller. However when I received it I loaded a roll of film and after taking a few shots the light meter magically came back to life. It’s been working ever since, it was a religious experience. It’s now the only camera I use and I am selling my digital leica. Thank you for this incredible camera kept in such good condition.I am really satisfied with this purchase.

Great camera if it's properly adjusted
The M6 is a fine camera. But this particular M6 has a bad rangefinder. If you move your eye left to right within the eyepiece, the images move with respect to each other. This makes it useless with anything but ultra wide lenses or way stopped down normal lenses. So, when evaluating an M6 (or any M) focus on an object, and then throw it off focus slightly such that the images are clearly misaligned. Now, without moving the camera, move your eye position left and right, up and down within the limits of the eyepiece. Both images should remain absolutely static with respect to each other. If that's not the case, turn down the camera.The M6 is a fine camera. But this particular M6 has a bad rangefinder.

New to Leica
I been taking pictures since I was 7 or 8 years old. I started to get more serious about photography when I turned 16. I knew that Leica was the best, but never even held one in my hands until a cople of months ago a friend of mine lend me for some weeks a IIIf. It was downhill from there. I been selling my Nikon lenses and bought this M6 and a 50mm summicron. Best thing I ever did. It is a magnificent piece of equipment. The only flaw that I find is the flare that devolopes when direct sunlight hits it and it prevents you from focusing easly. This is why I didn't put the 5 star rating. Other than that is a excellent camera. The F5 now will just be used with a 50mm 1.8 and flash for informal pictures, serious things will remain for the M.I been taking pictures since I was 7 or 8 years old.

Beatutifully well made camera.
I was prompted to write a review after buying a black Leica M6 TTL film camera with a 0.85 finder. I prefer film. It is cheaper and gives me great results. I chose to buy a rangefinder film camera because it is a simple camera, and easy to focus and use. In my opinion, rangefinders provide the best focusing control versus any other arrangement, such as an SLR. Because of manual focusing, this camera is not well-suited to take photos of sports action and so forth. Yes, you could train yourself to rapidly focus, as I have, and get by OK for action; but if action is your primary thing to shoot, I would suggest an SLR / DSLR camera with auto focus. Likes: film loading, framing the photo with the big finder, ease of setting the shutter and aperture, ease of using the light meter, ease of ...

Yes, you could train yourself to rapidly focus, as I have, and get by OK for action; but if action is your primary thing to shoot, I would suggest an SLR / DSLR camera with auto focus. Likes: film loading, framing the photo with the big finder, ease of setting the shutter and aperture, ease of using the light meter, ease of focusing. Light weight, strong construction, all mechanical, all metal body. Dislikes: none for me, but if you want to shoot with flash, this camera is poor. If I'm going into a flash situation I take a different camera. To explain, the flash sync is very low at 1/50 sec, and the awful flashes available that can be used tend to be too dim, or conversely, to be way too bright. Bouncing the flash is too hard -- you need too many hands, LOL. The camera has no built-in flash. This particular type of rangefinder is well loved for being a high quality all metal camera, and all mechanical. There are two little "button" type batteries, but those are just for the built-in light meter. You can operate the camera without batteries just fine. The camera is well enough built to last your entire life, and repairs / adjustments (overhauls) are available should you need it. This is not a throw-away plastic camera ... and that's probably the most appealing feature. So, once you take your film shots, what can you do? Well you can buy a scanner to turn the negatives or slides into digital tiff or jpg files. I also have a scanner, and the files are 10,500 x 7,000 pixels once scanned at maximum optical resolution. You'll notice that's more than twice the size of any full-frame digital camera (10 x 7k= 70k, versus 6 x 4k = 24k -- just a typical comparison). I also feel the photos are much better. Or, you can buy an enlarger and print the old school way. Vendors are also available to develop and scan your film, if you don't want to do it. I'm not recommending this to friends or anyone in particular! It's a very personal decision to buy a camera such as this. However, if you're curious, see if you can find one owned by a friend or something, and check out the rangefinder and see if you like the view, and are comfortable with the focusing, etc.

An M6 experience
I had been looking for a couple of MP's - but couldnt find the right ones. In a very short period of time I had bought 2 M6 - initially to supplement my M9. As Im out in the depths of the Great Western Desert in Kimberley Australia - the dust and other environmental conditions were taking some toll on the M9. There is another consideration - after owning 39mpxl H3 Blad and various Canon digital - although many new things were found, more than enough was being lost. I felt happier using film and producing images with film than I did with digital - although on some occasions I felt the digital images were 'better' they werent as satisfying to create and produce. So - to the M6. A superb device, provided as we all know without the 17 or 19 different functions options and promises that many ... I had been looking for a couple of MP's - but couldnt find the right ones. In a very short period of time I had bought 2 M6 - initially to supplement my M9.

There is another consideration - after owning 39mpxl H3 Blad and various Canon digital - although many new things were found, more than enough was being lost. I felt happier using film and producing images with film than I did with digital - although on some occasions I felt the digital images were 'better' they werent as satisfying to create and produce. So - to the M6. A superb device, provided as we all know without the 17 or 19 different functions options and promises that many DSLR offer. To me the promises of many DSLR are to cameras what the Winnebago is to housing. With the new ASPH lenses - the M6 is a superb device, largely because of what is hasnt got than what it has. It has achieved a beautiful balance between form and function. This releases the emphasis on gear and its various distractions to the view in front of the lens. The M6 provides a freedom from which of 7 functions, 17 file sizes, 2-3 colour spaces, 3 knobs and wheels to turn, which dial to mess with, what computer panel to watch as tethered - and so on. By the way - Im not completely running all that shtuff into the earth - but it just gets in the way for me, and they got in the way of me making the kinds of images I felt I used to, and wanted to again. So - with the M6 it is back to the future. I now have these 2 magnificent devices - hopefully for the rest of my life - initially as back up - but more and more primary capture devices. I cant write a great deal of the device - how many words are needed to say - it fits in my hands. It is steady. It has a remarkable quality and functionality - yet its unobtrusive and without image consciousness. It doesnt shout 'look here..look at me..' It says 'Im here, ready for work...so work me and lets go to work hard'. It simply takes beautiful images. Just beautiful. - and I am very happy and fulfilled from that. Thank you, Leica.
