Â This is an M-A with a battery. Â We don't yet know what the battery is for. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So add a battery but not the light meter….  ... I was trying to point out that the idea was somewhat bizarre. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly.  But I am working on the theory that it is for a databack that counts backwards.  So the user can claim they’ve been using Leicas since the dawn of time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they may be planning to repurpose the production capacity for the dead APS-C line over to film: M6 Classic re-issue (limited and non-limited models) MP and M-A refresh, perhaps merged into a single model Film CL reissue Film P&S  A CL reinterpretation would bring me back to film.  I’d want it to focus f/1.4 lenses, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirubadanieru Posted September 22, 2022 Share #392  Posted September 22, 2022 They probably got some leftover titanium from the M-A Titanium version, so the new M6 should be titanium : p Wonder if this announcement will come in early Oct or late Oct, because I'm quite interested to see how it will indeed fit in the current film camera lineup Leica has. Also, will it be a limited edition? Regular launch? Interesting to see the strategy Leica will take here. If they focus on the $$, limited edition, if they focus on the user, regular edition (probably replacing the MP?). Maybe it will just be similar to the digital lineup? Cheaper edition with red dot (as M10/M11) --> M6 More expensive / premium edition (as M10/M11-P) --> MP/MA (or just MA) Monochrom version & Safari version for future iterations too?  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madNbad Posted September 22, 2022 Share #393 Â Posted September 22, 2022 A lead lined TSA approved M body. Never worry about your film being fogged but only about a third of the users will load it properly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakontil Posted September 22, 2022 Share #394  Posted September 22, 2022 If there’s anything that worth a remake and probably i would wanna pay, MP3, M6J .. M6 limited run with brass materials ? Depends on the engraving 😀 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our bizarre mirror universe, colour film is easier to find in 120 than in 35mm .

Â But there haven't been many takers as people like the traditional Ms more. Of course! How did I forget that? And I bet the lens is a serious competitor to their previous benchmark of optical excellence, the Thambar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
