Vitaliy.V Posted May 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm never used Leica. I want to ask if there will be a difference in the image if you install the same optics, film and settings on these cameras? I use google translate, sorry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Hi Vitaliy.V, Take a look here Leica M-A, M6, MP image differences. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted May 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2020 If you use the same lens, the same film and the same exposure, the image will be identical, regardless of the camera - any camera. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narsuitus Posted May 19, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 19, 2020 The images will be identical provided that the cameras are in proper working condition. If one of them has been abused to the point where the shutter, diaphragm, or film advance is not working properly, you will probably notice a difference in the images.

Stealth3kpl Posted May 20, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 20, 2020 The camera is just a light box to hold the lens. Buy the one you like the look of, the feel of, or the one which seems the best value. Pete 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitaliy.V Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted May 20, 2020 Thanks to your replies yes, that’s logical. I'm used to all digital cameras being different. Now I need to decide which one to take, I am inclined to M-A with an external light meter 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted May 20, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 20, 2020 The Leica M camera body is essentially 'just' a light tight box to hold the film, and incorporates a shutter. Some include a light meter as well, and some have different frame lines or viewfinder maginification. They do handle differently, minor differences perhaps, but it is worth checking them out in person to see which you prefer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitaliy.V Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted May 20, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes, i read and watch many reviews and wanted to make sure there’s no difference in the image. I probably watched thousands of photos and like 3 lenses, 50 APO, 28 summilux and 50 noctilux 0.95. I like night time photos and think to buy 50 apo and 28 summilux or one 50 noctilux. This not for professional use, just for life 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, you may want to take a look at this thread about the M6 lightmeter and night shooting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom R Posted June 17, 2020 Share #11 Posted June 17, 2020 Having used many "older" Leica M's ... two things I'd ask: What are my preferred focal lengths? And, how often do I need to service (CLA) these bodies? Of these, the second question might be more relevant as I don't know if replacement parts are becoming scare for "older" bodies, i.e., M6 down to the M3. As of this moment, at least three or four qualified Leica repair people are working in the US. Don't know the situation elsewhere though. Just my 2-cents. \ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about wine and glasses, but Coke tastes better from a glass bottle vs a can. 😀 While an image will be identical if taken with the same lens, film and exposure regardless of body, what also matters is the user experience of the body. I prefer auto exposure, so I'd prefer to use a M7 vs a MP or M6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
