Hello everybody great to be here. I have been shooting Leicas all my life... great to find this Leica forum. I shoot mostly with my M6s and digital too. I do mostly editorial/travel/FineArt work. My first book Cuba A Personal Journey: 1986-2016 of my 25+ years of documenting the island was published end of 2016 all shot in black & white film and mostly with Leicas. Here you all can read more about it. http://www.bjp-online.com/2016/10/a-moment-in-time-an-exploration-of-cuba-through-the-years/ https://www.lensculture.com/articles/manuello-paganelli-cuba-a-personal-journey Manuello Paganelli Los Angeles California

Hi all, So was walking around the woods today and went to take a photo of some cows only to discover my eyepiece had fallen off somewhere. Retraced my steps but of course, no luck. I've been frantically searching the web for help and it seems like this has happened to a few people and the consensus is to either contact Leica or DAG. But before I do that, I just wanted to make 100% sure that this is what's happened. I've attached a photo below. Could someone with more technical knowhow please confirm that it is simply a case of the eyepiece having unscrewed and fallen off and that it's a simple job to replace it when I source the part? If anyone knows of a good place to source this, I'd also be especially grateful. I'm based in London but in Italy at the moment. Naturally, I'm super bummed out and desperate to get this fixed and back shooting again! Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm new to Leica world. Yesterday I received my first Leica, a Black Classic M6. I thought it was a "bargain" at first, but now, after checking It all around, I see a misaligned of the top plate. How serious do you think it is? Is it solvable? I have not yet contacted the seller, I wanted to ask you first and then my trusted repairer. I hope it is nothing serious... Before taking it, the seller told me that the shutter had been serviced a few months earlier Thanks!

Hey my name is mike and i've had my m4 since june and absolutely love the camera. I got it cla'd by yye camera and it works great. Only issue is I love to shoot with flash and when I try doing so with this camera it is extremely unreliable.. I have never used the leica brand pc sync cord's and was curious if that could be the issue, but have tested the cords I have on all of the other film cameras I own and they work no problem at all. I have the vivitar 285hv and that comes with a sync cable already attached to the flash then put the other end on the socket of the camera and it works about 10 percent of the time. My other method was buying a hot shoe adapter and then putting my metz flash atop / and or my small nikon this again only worked rarely and with intense fidgeting of the cable. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot. Best, Mike -
Hi I have recently bought two Leica M6 cameras with various problems, and are wondering which one to keep. The best looking one is a Wetzlar M6 and has the following problems: - The rangefinder patch flares significantly more than the other M6. This seems to be caused by haze on the inside of the rangefinder window. My leica CL has less flare than both. - After the shutter trips, I am able to see a little bit of the seam on the left hand side of the shutter looking inside of the camera from behind. It is somewhat visible when looking straight on and compared to the other M6 it is a bit more visible in general. Might be a problem according to https://www.cameraquest.com/leicamchecklist.htm -Winding the shutter also makes a rubbing sound which the other M6 does not. - The other M6 also has smoother winding lever and more dampened shutter button than the Wetzlar M6. The other M6 is a big logo version made in the Sloms factory - The light meter on this one is sometimes off by more than 4 stops, even with a new battery. Other times it can be correct, but the arrows don't light up like the Wetzlar M6. I am never able to get the two arrows to light up evenly. One of the arrows is always stronger than the other. This means that the light meter goes from for example totally overexposed (only one arrow) -> a bit overexposed( one arrow brighter than the other) -> a bit underexposed (the other arrow brighter than the other) -> Totally underexposed (only one arrow). According to the manual I am missing the double arrows correct exposure light. - The white circle on the wound shutter curtain is also a bit faded and not evenly white from right to left, compared to the Wetzlar M6. - The shutter button on the big logo M6 is also a bit sticky after pressing or half pressing the shutter, making the light meter stay on indefinitely. - The 2nd shutter curtain on the big logo M6 also starts to creep in a little bit before the Wetzlar M6 when using the 1 second shutter speed. I hope you can help me decide. If both needs repair or CLA which will be the simplest and least expensive to repair? Thank you for taking the time to read through all this.

Aufruf an alle Lichteinfall-Profis und Leidensgenossen! Mir ist da beim Durchschauen meines Archives bei den Bildern der M6 etwas aufgefallen. Erst dachte ich, mein dicker Finger schmuggelt sich ins Bild, bis mir eingefallen ist, dass die Bilder in der Kamera a) auf dem Kopf stehen und b) ja auch noch gedreht werden müssen. Ich habe also Lichteinfall oder eine Reflektion durch das Objektiv, mal ein Foto der Rolle, mal drei auf einer Rolle (ohne Filter fotografiert). Auf den Bildern immer in der unteren rechten Ecke, mal etwas stärker, mal schwächer, häufiger weher sehr schwach. Auf den Kopf gestellt und umgedreht ergibt das also ein Lichteinfall oben Rechts (wenn man von hinten auf die Kamera schaut). Ich vermute also, dass die Kamerarückklappe der M6 nicht ganz dicht ist oder? Das könnte also das Stück Stoff hinter der Klappe oben sein oder meine selbstangebrachten Dichtungen Links und Rechts der Klappe müssen mal getauscht werden. Was sagt die Community?🙂 Lieben Gruß Andre Beispielfotos:

Hey! I'm new to this community! I currently shoot with a Leica M11. I wanted some advice.. I've been a film shooter for a long time.. I've shot M3, M4-P but sold them a couple of years back. I want to get back into film but debating between picking up used MP black paint or going for M6 used OR getting one brand new.. I plan on keeping this camera for many years. is it worth picking up an already brassing MP camera? or would MP new would be a better option? I'd greatly appreciate some advice.. One thing I know I would replace the shark skin for the new leatherette since I dislike the "shark skin" due to the texture. I've seen them go for about 4k used vs a new one retailed at 5695...
