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 ... MoreI had been looking for a couple of MP's - but couldnt find the right ones.

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.

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.

After 20 something years as a professional photographer , I realised there was something missing from my life, a Leica camera . I have been shooting digital for ages and I really miss film . I used to shoot up to 100 rolls of film a week when i was shooting film in the film days . I did my research and bought this little beauty . I have to say I am now hooked on Leica gear , its amazing how well engineered and built it is . This camera is a joy to use and its made me fall in love with photography and shooting film all over again . Have to say I love the smaller size of the rangefinder system and its just a joy to use !

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. Its been working ever since, it was a religious experience. Its 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 recently purchased a like new condition Leica M6 TTL through ebay. After years of using both film and digital Nikons I decided to take the plunge into the world of Leica. After much reading I determined that the .58 magnification viewfinder would best fit my needs, being better suited to wide angle lenses and use by eyeglass wearers. The camera is like a journey back in time. It is so simple compared to my last digital camera which came with a 420 page user's manual. Everything on the camera is where it belongs when you hold it and there is nothing extra. The simplicity, weight, balance and feel of quality is outstanding. I particularly like the shutter - you can hardly hear the thing.
A classic rangefinder camera with a beautifully implemented manual metering system and quiet operation, not to mention built-for-a-lifetime quality materials. The particular camera I purchased had recently been serviced and it shows. A smooth operator. If you want to shoot film into the future and want a first-class experience, a good quality M6 is hard to beat.
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.
Considering this is one of the older models of m6 I was quite surprised by how pristine the camera body was. Tested with film and everything works well. The shutter sticks a little bit but it's not a problem, I can just lift it up and the meter turns off after a while. Overall, wonderful camera!
Had a Leica M6 classic that had been my favourite camera and I sold it, thinking I would only use digital. Twelve months after selling it I missed my camera and was sorry that I sold it, because my camera was in absolute mint condition. Took me a while to find a perfect replacement, but now a M6 TTL, one of the last ones made, in PERFECCT condition from a great dealer in Germany. This camera has to be the best 35mm stills film camera ever made - smooth, quite and much lighter than my M240, whichis fanttastic but is heavy. An excellent film camera, one that will last your life!
Since the day it finally arrived I've had the same roll of film in the camera. I'm getting close to the end but I'm being very selective on what I shoot. I also own Leica M9 and I hope the M6 will complement photography duties during my travels. I have not noticed any thing I dislike about the camera yet in fact my only disappointment is that I waited so long to finally get an M series camera. I look forward to the years of use ahead of me and possibility of handing over ownership to my grand kids. I don't think that I will be comparing this camera to others at this point I rather buy more glass than additional camera bodies unless I'm jumping into a bigger format.
