einsam liegt es in der See M6, Makro-Elmar 90mm, Fuji Reala

I took this in the Louvre in Paris in 2002. I have just scanned it to add it to my archive. The camera was certainly the M6 and probably the lens was the 35mm Summicron I had back then. It was taken on Agfa Vista 800 colour film, which I have no rational explanation for now because I can't imagine me ever using it. The grain is pretty big, but through judicious use of LRCC I think I have gotten away with it at this size, or at least I hope so! I do like the result. Gerry

Taken in the Soho area of London in 1999 and just discovered whilst trawling through my negatives. It would have been Leica M6 and is Tri-X. Gerry

Another from my first visit to Italy in March 1999. This was taken in Montepulciano (Tuscany/Toscana) using a Leica M6 with Tri-X film but I have no other details recorded. Looking at the image I would assume 50mm Summicron f2. Gerry

Hi, I looked around on the forum and did not find much info about this... My M6 VF is giving me a hard time focusing (sometimes). I recently got it and other than this problem it's mechanically and cosmetically perfect. So in general it's hard for me to focus when my subject is: 1. Heavily backlight (bright source of light); 2. Very contrasted; 3. In a very dark environment. From what I've heard this seems to be to a fairly common problem with M6's. I contacted Gerry Smith in Toronto at Kindermann (I live in Montreal) and he told me about a modification that could be done to the VF for approx. 180$. So my question is: Does it need to be modified? or is it just maybe dirty? Has anybody upgraded their M6 this way? Is it worth it? Any insight would be great! Thanks

Hallo, ich bin neu im Forum. Ich bin seit langer Zeit stolzer Besitzer einer nach wie vor funktionstüchtigen M6. Allerdings merke ich, dass der technische Fortschritt auch nicht spurlos an mir vorüberzieht. Seit einigen Jahren fotografiere ich nur noch digital. Ich möchte mich ungern von meiner M6 trennen, möchte sie aber auch im digitalen Zeitalter vernünftig nutzen können. Frage: Gibt es Möglichkeiten, eine digitale Rückwand in die M6 einzubauen, so dass ich sie (freilich ohne Display, das brauche ich nicht) digital nutzen kann? Wenn ja: Wer bietet so etwas an? Was kostet so etwas? Gibt es Erfahrungen, Bewertungen, usw. damit, damit ich abschätzen kann, ob sich die Investition auch wirklich lohnt? Oder bleibt mir nichts anderes übrig als mich von meiner M6 zu trennen, für eine M9 fleißig zu sparen oder es zu lassen? Schon mal danke für eure hilfreichen Antworten. AS

Hey everyone I am a student on a limited budget. I currently have a classic m6 with a 50 f/2 and a 28 f/2.8. However I have been really wanting to get a hold of a digital m to shoot with. With this in mind Ive been saving for about a year and a quarter and have come up with 2000.00 and have really been shopping around, catch is I leave in a week for a trip to Ireland and initially wanted to find a digital m to shoot with. Ive found two locally that are being sold by the owner for 2100 and 2250, but one has had its shutter replaced, and the other is heavily used. I have 3 options, I can just take my m6 and shoot with that and wait to save more for a 8.2 or a nicer 8, purchase one of these m8's and take it on the trip, or possibly find a demo or rent a m9 to take on the trip save my money and buy a better 8 or a 8.2 I know this seems like a very personal decision, but I was really hoping that with everyones experiences you guys would be able to help me make the best possible choice. -James

Hallo zusammen, eigentlich bin ich schon länger hier im Forum unterwegs, aber so richtig dazugehöre ich jetzt erst. Nach einigen Jahren mit etlichen Kameras, analog und digital, habe ich mich jetzt für eine Kamera aus dem Hause Leica entschieden. Über zwei Privatpersonen bin ich an eine wundervolle Leitz Leica M6 und einem Leica Elmar-M 50 2.8 gekommen. Was soll ich sagen, ich bin total begeistert von diesem Schmuckstück! Ich hatte schon sehr viel über die Haptik einer Leica M gelesen, aber ich hatte ja keine Ahnung wie gut sie sich anfühlt. Und das Messsucher-prinzip macht einfach Laune! Eine Frage habe allerdings noch dazu: Wenn ich das Schnittbild zu 100% deckend einstelle und das Bild dann mit dem daneben liegendem vergleiche, habe ich das Gefühl, dass das Bild nicht so scharf ist wie das Bild außerhalb des Schnittbildes. Ist das normal oder ein Anzeichen, dass ich ihn mal richten lassen sollte? Natürlich will ich euch meine Schönheit nicht vorenthalten und habe sie deshalb mal flott fotografiert. Beste Grüße Florian

Hello, I just bought a used Leica M6 in pristine condition. With it, I have Summicron-M 50mm and the Elmar 135mm F4. The Cron 50 works perfectly, but I can't get the rangefinder focus to work for the Elmar. I know the focus area is pretty tight with a 0.72x viewfinder, but the focus images don't budge when turning the focus dial. I'm probably overlooking something simple, but please let me know if you have any thoughts. Thanks so much.

Hi all, just got my M6 classic not long ago. I have a problem when I point my M6 to something very bright, let's say while I am shooting a bright scene under sunny day, I barely can see the "red arrow" light meter indicator. Shooting indoor I have no problem, as the ambient is dimmer and thus the viewfinder also darker. Is this normal? Or the battery is dying? I shot 3 rolls so far, all came out exposed accurately, no sign of meter battery dying...

Hi, I just bought my first Leica, an M6 Classic. I hope I'm not asking a stupid question... I have a Summaron 35mm f/3.5 serial number 1179705, I think it might be from 1954? On my M6 the 35mm frame lines does not automatically show; I get the 50mm + 75mm. I have to turn the frame lever to get the 35mm + 135mm frame lines. I understand there is an issue with the goggles made for the M2. But reading about it, I get all confused. How do I know if my Summaron was designed to be used with goggles? If I so; shouldn't the M6 display the 35mm frames without the goggles? I understand some have filed down a detail on the lens to make it work without the goggles; could this be my problem? I would greatly appreciate any help from you good people of this forum :-) PS: Also; the focus lock knob touches the frame lever, making close focusing a bit hard - is this "normal"?
