About
A 35mm rangefinder for photographers who value craft, longevity, and tactile control. The Leica M6 (2022) revives an icon with a modern 0.72x viewfinder and coated optics to reduce flare, plus a bright red exposure dot and discreet battery warning. The top plate is solid brass with abrasion‑resistant black lacquer, giving real heft and patina potential. The ISO dial keeps the classic look while hiding modern electronics, and the cloth shutter meters off a brightened patch for reliable readings.
Design details remain: the slanted rewind crank, the Leitz red logo, and new black leatherette with “MADE IN GERMANY” emboss. It’s compact, quiet, and intentional. You decide focus, exposure, and timing while the camera stays out of the way.
If you want analog for the process as much as the results, this M6 balances reliability and soul. It’s the film body you buy once, use for decades, and enjoy more with every roll.
