They may start with that simple barnack, then move on to rangefinders. Start with a camera that no-one wants, then move onto one that people do?

But there were other things that I liked about the TTL at the time also. If not, an M6 that had not bubbled after 30 years would’ve also been fine ! I have a feeling that if it would have corroded/bubbled, it would have done it by now seeing the last one made was 20 years ago! Interestingly I have only seen the bubbles on silver M6s. Not on the black ones. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost me at 'artisanal'. And let's hope we're not really going back to 'celluloid film'! It's probably no coincidence that they're featuring a photographer who uses an M6... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

69xchange Posted September 17, 2022 Share #316 Posted September 17, 2022 I’m noticing a slight drop in prices on old film M cameras recently. Probably has more to do with inflation and the rise of cost of living though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably has more to do with inflation and the rise of cost of living though. I think prices have stabilised after a period of hysteria, as in most people who suddenly neeeded a film Leica now have one. The past three or four years have been breathless in the price cameras can attain. But in all this time, and far further back in the recent past, Leica have seen their film heritage as a sideshow, a sop to nerds. But who are the leaders in the revival of film, why it's the bright young things, the kids who are developing feelings for imagery in a world of sterile images. So I would guess a new affordable film camera is on the cards, aimed at the the bright young things, but Leica are years and years behind Lomo if that is the case. It is Lomography that started the price rises in second hand Leica's or indeed any old film camera, not nostalgia for Leica per se. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted September 17, 2022 Share #319 Posted September 17, 2022 If a new 'M6' is announced and is priced a bit cheaper than a new MP or M-A, the used M6 market could be heading for a bit of a recession! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted September 17, 2022 Share #320 Posted September 17, 2022 11 hours ago, jsrockit said: It is the only rumored camera at this point ... Though what is the difference between an M6 (not TTL) and an MP? The M6 had an inferior viewfinder and zinc was used for the body instead of brass. Both „features“ would be unique in the production line for the M cameras, which would make the thing more expensive. Either the rumor doesn‘t make sense or Leica has lost their mind. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
