069883 Posted April 2, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted April 2, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have had an M6 for several years that was bought secondhand, but I have never known which rangefinder it has; .85, .72, etc. Is there an easy way to identify this without disassembly? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Hi 069883, Take a look here Rangefinder question. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
norbertnl Posted April 2, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted April 2, 2007 There is an easy way: if the finder shows all six frames it's a .72. In a .85 there is no 28mm frame, a .58 does not have the 135mm frame. Best regards, Norbert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppp Posted April 3, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted April 3, 2007 M6 has only a 0,72 rangefinder. Â M6 TTL, M7, Mp have 0,85, 0,72 and 0,58 rangefinders. Â ppp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted April 3, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted April 3, 2007 M6 has only a 0,72 rangefinder. Â No, M6 also exists as a 0.85 version, although not many were built. Â Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppp Posted April 3, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted April 3, 2007 Yes, you're right. In 1997 leica introduced the 0,85 finder, and M6 was produced untill 1999; in this case, the M6 has a "0,85" laser engraved in front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
