I finally bought my dream Leica and take it to the streets to shoot some POV Street photography in San Francisco. After a long couple years and recently selling off my Leica m2 I plunge back into the m system with the rangefinder I have secretly wanted. Film used in the video was Portra 800 which was very pleasing to the eye! Excited to take this camera around the world with me.

Congrats! I bought my M6 in 1988. Mine's the original pre-TTL and I was my 5th Leica M after testing the waters with several Ms of previous vintages (2 M3s, an M2 and an M4) I still have my M6. It has been around the world many times and has never failed. Enjoy your new camera.

I love the zine moment ... Great video as always. My M6 Titanium meter hasn't stopped working, but I've ordered a KEKS 002 ... Hopefully I'll get my first roll shot. I'm not fussed about the meter as the M6 was a win in a prize draw anyway. I loved your other Leica prurchase from the thrift store .... A stellar find of a lifetime.

Story for you. My favourite store for Leica ( I’m in England) pretty much talked me out of an M6. It went like this: “I feel the need for an M6” “But you have an M2 and a 50mm summilux f1.4 and you are old enough to be able to use that Weston light meter we serviced for you or no light meter at all. “ Ok, just believe it, that’s the way we roll sometimes in England. So, I left the shop wondering what I was thinking. You had an M2 my most favoured KZfaqr! Just sayin! Anyway, question for you or anyone out there. I’m off to Santiago, Chile, for a few weeks. Never done that South America thing. Do I just drop my film in my baggage and hope for the best? Or appeal to the several security sections I’ll be passing through by the time I get home, not to put my film through airport scanners? Cheers from Liverpool

Got my M6 3 weeks ago and am just waiting for the first developed role, super excited! I haven’t planned to buy it at this point but got a „cheap“ one in almost unused condition which was also built in my year of birth, so I couldn‘t say no. I may have to get it serviced as it wasn‘t used that much but I will see when the role is back.

For the longest time the MP was my dream camera. Since I wanted to shoot a Leica and still afford to buy film I went with the M6. Found a new old stock so basically unused on eBay for $900. Many years later, I finally got an MP from Ken Hansen (RIP). Long story short, I sold the MP (to fund an engagement ring 😭) and kept the M6 and had the viewfinder upgraded by DAG and never looked back. Even though I’ve been longing for an MP I felt more connected to my M6 and gave me the same experience and results that’s why I kept it.

Bought mine in 2013 (and customized everything about it because it was truly special to me that being the three digit in the serial is my birthday), and was strictly shooting film for literally everything I do. But with second kid now, I had no choice but switch to digital (X100V, during the pandemic, and before the hype). I did initially want to jump into digital M, but just no way. Early digital M's with problems I rather not get my self into, and new ones way out of budget. The way things are nowadays with the prices of film and body, it's just insane to jump back into film. I'd wish though!

Did you walk from Union Square to the Embarcadero? I know you have done photos in parts of Golden Gate Park. Maybe explore some other parts. Have you checked out the Buffalo in the park, assuming they are still there. Maybe there are some interesting areas in the Presidio you can check out. Maybe you have done so before, but I don't remember you checking walking the Warf and down to the beach.
