Just order from the UK and the warranty is international. idk if anyone is paying 3800$ for it, but thats what I see some going for. I wouldn't pay 3800$ For an M6, 2000-3000 is the max I would pay for one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it's not limited but will take a while to get one if you're not near the top of the list. Good news is it may open up more availability of the black MP.

soccerrick10 Posted October 20, 2022 Share #971 Posted October 20, 2022 The M3 I have was born in 1954 - So was I. I just had my 68th birthday. I’d LOVE to have the new M6 to have the “First” and “Last” M-film cameras I’ll have in my lifetime. But, I’d just have to use it…… 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not hugely excited by this release either, but I think the argument to buy this updated M6 over an original one would be ‘better’ (mp) innards, less chance / No chance of zinc bubbling, better mp viewfinder. I find my mp rangefinder patch has noticeably more contrast than my m6, and I’m much more confident with it. I don’t have flare issues with M6 but this many have. Also serviceability / future proofing since it’s MP light meter I had also thought it was going to be lighter (eg same material top plate as black m11) but if the rumours are now saying top and bottom brass then I guess that’s unlikely and sorry I just re-read your post and notice you also said what are the reasons to buy over an mp ! Answer is probably not a lot Edited October 20, 2022 by grahamc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

raizans Posted October 20, 2022 Share #974 Posted October 20, 2022 Well done, Leica! The M6 reissue addresses all of the problems that people have with the original M6, and people on Reddit are so excited that they're imagining rumors that it will become regular production.

Noctinoir Posted October 20, 2022 Share #977 Posted October 20, 2022 I like the look of it. Black paint on brass but ‘matte’ hmmm. Would have sold for so much more if non matte, like the vintage black paint cameras. It says ‘scratch resistant’ so will the brass eventually show through with use? Kinda pointless covering the brass with scratch resistant paint so you can never see it. Especially when the most valuable Leicas on the market are ‘show through’ black paint brass A glossy black paint in this same design would have been amazing. But still, waiting on the phone call from Leica tomorrow and see how I go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
