If you want to push or pull film, there’s no exposure compensation on this camera so simply set it to the desired film sensitivity. Press and turn the wheel until it matches your film’s ISO.

To make sure the meter reading is accurate, set the correct ISO on the back panel. It takes x2 LR44 batteries to operate and is activated when you half press the shutter release. Yes, the M6 was the first Leica camera with a built-in LED light meter. This complicates a bit the shooting experience in my opinion.įor longer focal you’ll see some lenses with googles attached to it but they are not ideal because they tend to be heavy and if you’re shooting handled, it can be a little uncomfortable so better choosing the right finder first that fix it later. If you want to use a focal length that doesn’t fall on any of these tramlines, you would have to rely on an external viewfinder to compose the shot and use the main finder to focus and get the meter reading. Apparently some of the Classics can also be found with a 0.85x finder but most of the time you will find the alternative finders on the M6 TTL. The first version of the M6 which is referred as the “M6 Classic” came with a 0.72x finder. 0.58x Finder: Here you loose the 135mm but get extra space around the widest 28mm frame and comes with the following pairs: 28-90, 50-75, and a stand-alone 35mm frame.If you like shooting with longer lenses this could be a good option for you. 0.85x Finder: On this one you loose the 28mm and get the 35-135, 50-75 and a stand-alone 90 frame.0.72x Finder: This is the standard finder comes with 3 sets of frame lines pairs so 6 different focal lengths in total, which are the: 28-90, 35-135 and 50-75.The most common finder you’ll encounter is the 0.72x- but there are also finders with a 0.58x or 0.85x magnification and each of them are suited for different set of focal lengths. Choosing the right finder is essential to suit your style of shooting and preferred focal lengths. This is a big deal and I want to start right off with the finder because it is the most important factor to consider when buying an M6 or a rangefinder in general. Pacific Rim Cameras - Better site for camera info.Best Leica M6 Finder Magnification: 0.58x, 0.72x or 0.85x? The following are small stores with small inventories, but worth checking if neededīergen County Camera - Smaller selection, but reasonably priced Sherry Krauter - The repair guru (who I heartily recommend), has modest selection at varying prices (some seem to be close to market, others much higher) Manfred Schmidt - Wide variety of camera choices, but prices are high (higher than keh)Īdorama - The camera superstore also has a substantial used section at competitive prices (slightly better than keh).ī&H Photo -Adorama's main competitor, it usually has a smaller used section than Adorama, but prices are competitive. Koh's Camera - Has a smaller selection that tend towards collectible rather than user cameras. George Ury - Has a moderate selection at good prices (better than keh) Keh - The largest used camera store has a good selection of Leicas, but they are noticeably higher priced than the above three dealers I think he has the best prices of any dealer.Ĭlassic Connection - A third major dealer has a wide variety at very good prices. Igor's Camera Exchange - Igor has a wide variety of Leicas. It also offers some of the better dealer prices. Users tend to sell at the most competitive pricesĬollectible Cameras - A wide variety of Leicas and probably the 2nd largest overall used site behind keh. It is well laid out and easy to navigate.
Rangefinderforum Classifieds - Where most Leica users go to sell their gear.
So here is my list for places to buy a used Leica or other classic cameras (US Sellers): Andrew Nemeth has a list, but some links are defunct and it leaves off some great sites. Dealers of used Leica gear don't come up easily with Google searches, so I've compiled a list.
