Interesting thoughts on the M6, many thanks for this nice video. I had an M6 for some years, liked it quite a lot. With respect to the meter I used it more like a handheld meter: Look for a spot with the right level of brightness and meter it, focus, frame, shoot. You can even apply the Zone-System with b+w negative film. Look for a darker level of brightness in the scene that should still have full definition and measure it. Than correct exposure -2 stops which is Zone III instead of medium grey Zone V. And there you have it, exposing in Zones, just as easy as zone-focussing (Adams describes this in "The Negative" for use with 35mm film). With respect of the LED-indicator I couldn't agree more and I also by far prefer the readout of my Nikon FE2 to the FM2s I had and the M6. But you get used to that quickly. At least the new M6 added a third LED. With respect to repairability modern electronics of decent quality have improved since the eighties with respect to durability and will probably last even longer than the ones used in the classic M6 which jus started dying in slightly noticeable numbers if you follow the forums. With a new one I'd start to worry in about 30 years. Personally I'm worried more about the availability of film by that time.

Note: If you just want to dabble in the leica line but can't afford a M series. Hear me out... The Leica R-E has aperture priority, it is an SLR but it's very compact. Glass is a little cheaper and you get the red dot. I found one in like new condition for $300. It's still a manual focus lens with similar metering to the M6. You can shoot just like a rangefinder, just sent to f8 and uses the zones on the lens. But you also have the luxury of looking through the lens if you are inclined. Happy shooting.

@donovanchin Жыл бұрын

Agree about the light meter. I think it was always designed for a seasoned user that just needed it in certain circumstances. For someone who may need to meter for every exposure, it’s definitely not the best. However, in those situations, it is also a very accurate meter. Regarding trying other rangefinders before buying a Leica. I’m not sure if the experience the same for everyone but prior to my M6 TTL, I tried a whole bunch of other rangefinders and kinda hated them all. It was only I took the plunge and just got my M6 TTL that I finally “got it”. I now prefer rangefinders but it was all from the Leica experience.

I got a used Leica M6 10 years ago from 1990 and it was practically new in box. I put 600+ rolls of film through it and I don't see any reaon to have it serviced yet. I also found the light meter a tad weird at first, but it's actually very fast once you get used to it, just turn the speed dial / aperture ring until the other arrow lights up, done. I don't really need it but it gives me more consistent results. With scanned pictures it doesn't really matter that much, but for printing in the darkroom it can save a lot of time.

Some valid points. I own M6 classic and M2 and find myselfe second guessing exposure readout on M6 even after 2 years of useing it. But meeter is really usefull inside so I'm prone to use it over the M2. I do love the clean viewfinder with only one frame at the time on M2. Regardless, it's a tool designed for a very specific way of shooting and every tim I try to move back to SLR style cameras I miss the finder being not affeceted by DOF of a lens and beautifull experience of useing precise and well designed tool.

I have an M6 TTL from around 2000, love it. I've probably put 200 rolls through it, so far it's totally reliable. Like a Nikon FM2, it will shoot at all speeds even if the battery dies. No, it's not overrated. The light meter works great, I get consistently correct exposures. All of that being said, a camera is a box with a hole in it, the real reason to buy one of these is for the Leica lenses which are special. I see a lot of people buying this camera then sticking a cheap lens on it, to me that totally defeats the purpose.

WOW! absolutely amazing! There was no mention of the M7 as an alternative at all. Crazy how the M7 is one of the most overlooked film Leica's and yet I find it one of the best. I too was naive and ignorant and followed what every trendy street photographer on KZfaq said about the M6 being the best camera. The M6 is one of the most over hyped cameras that exist. I was very fortunate that when I was going to purchase the M6 there happend to be an M7 in the Camera store. I am all about tools that make the craft easier to use and once I tried the M7 I knew this was the camera and never even looked back at the M6. The M7 features have helped so much, specially the Apreture priority and being aple to see your shutter speed without always chimping at your shutter dial. Not to mention it has the larger shutter dial that makes it far easier to use, I can't believe Leica put the small shutter dial on the new M6. I am so happy with my M7 and even happier that I did not make the mistake of buying the M6.

The M6 I use near daily since 2020 has been running strong since 1991. My local repairman who used to work in the Midland Leica factory gave it a CLA when I got it and said it was in great working order with only the 1/1000th being slightly slower (somewhere like 1/960). He just gave it a quick CLA and promised me that it'll be good for at least a decade of daily use. I feel like the reliability of these are something that I never worried about, and I can't imagine the newer ones being much worse than a camera over 30 years old. Valid point about the meter though, I can see that since you're so used to the MA! The way I use it is just to meter for a scene and then ignore it after that unless the setting completely changes. It just helps me eliminate the need to carry a light meter for scenes :)

With regards to the rear plastic iso dial, I read somewhere that they use a plastic one for the mp/m6 due to it having electronics. Possibly due to some sort of shorting factor or static electricity thing.

I kinda agree with your gripes about the light meter. Also it would be cool to somehow use without looking through the finder. Pre metering by constantly putting it up to the eye is just a bit strange and I prefer the waist level metering like on a Canon 7 (if those ever worked of course).

The new M6 is definitely better than the original. The original isn’t all that great anyway. Because Leica started to cheap out about the time they started making the original M6. The new has the better finder of the MP and better build quality. But the cameras made before the M4-P were build much better. If you want a small M with a light meter the new M6 or MP are the way to go. But if you want the best rangefinder with a meter the M5 will be much more reliable. Also the M5 has a much more precise spot meter which is much better for high contrast scenes like in the video for when you need for middle grey in the shadows. And as you said the M5 shows you how far you’re away from the correct exposure.

@kalenderquantentunnel9411 Жыл бұрын

The M5, unfortunately, is also becoming a bit long in the tooth 🦷 as the electronics can no longer be repaired. Some special parts, differing from other Leicas, in the shutter-mechanism are also beyond availability and repaireres start to refuse to work on them. But you are right about the savings in the viewfinder of the M4-2/-P and the old M6, where the metering-spot tends to white-out under certain angles of light. This is where previous as well as current Ms really have an advantage that is noticeable for the user. Current prices for M4-Ps are really difficult to justify if you aks me.

@axelkeuchel5728 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this honest and - indeed - subjective review! Personally I think you‘ve hit the nail with your thoughts about the „new“ M6. I own a „original“ M6 from the 90‘s and a M7 from the early 2000‘s. My biggest complaint about the new M6 is that it didn’t show any substantial progress. It’s more or less the same camera as a MP, minus the better looks of the MP (or the MA). The lightmeter indicator in the viewfinder is crap as it was in the original M6, and the new one didn’t even has the ability to be shot in aperture priority like the M7, which is why I personally enjoy the M7 much more than the M6. The only reason I can think of for reintroducing the M6 is that Leica wanted to get its share from the hype about that old M6. Given that it’s still a nice camera, but as long as I could get more or less two used M6 (which are ridiculously overpriced, too) for one new one, I know what I would do. And given the steadily rising costs of shooting film while more and more film-types were no longer produced, I wouldn’t buy a film camera for more than five grand. Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Olympus made nice and reliable film cameras, too. Yes, mostly they’re SLR cameras, not rangefinders. But one can get these cameras in a good condition for a few hundred bucks. If they break it’s sad but not a big deal. If the new M6 breaks and can’t be repaired (or it’s too expensive) it’s sad and a big deal because you‘ve burned a whole lot of money. If you can buy two of those new M6 plus some Leica glas without thinking twice about the money, just go for it. If this thought makes your bank account cringe - there are a lot of other good film cameras😉✌️.

I'm willing to bet that the difference is not all that great.

there's no difference between this and the Leica M2/M3 other than the built in lightmeter, the 6 sets of framelines (28mm/90mm, 35mm/135mm, 50mm/75mm), and a hotshoe for flash-sync. But M2 and M3 can use flash if you connect a hotshoe thru a adapter cable. Nothing different in image quality or handling, and M2/M3 are even better built with zero plastic components.

Do you work for UPS? 😂 You comments about the light meter are funny. It’s very intuitive and easy to use - easier that a scale. Honestly, if you are so far off the optimal setting that you don’t know how much to turn the dial, the M is not for you. So not know how far off you are is a moot point. E.g., you’re not going to set shutter to 1000 when you are in a dimly lit room with ISO 200.

The meter is awful and very distracting. I have had all of the M bodies. I eventually just took the batteries out of my MP.

Just so you know, Leica will service this camera including the light meter for a good 10 years after it is discontinued.

JUST having a Ferrari doesn't mean I'm a good driver. another reportage and another epic dream image with no aesthetic value. The vanity of projection, on a channel, you do not make us teachers.

Overpriced, overhyped camera… I prefer buying any 300$ camera and keep the other 5k to travel 😅 it’s just comical to see KZfaqrs with a M6 taking boring or crap pictures just to follow a trend, same in digital with Fuji stuff…
