Excuseme, what is the "flare fix" you use in the rangefinder?

 

I used to patch a small piece of tape in the middle of the light intake window of my classic M6 and 0.85 M7.

 

This does dim the frame lines unfortunately, but makes the flare issue, these two rangefinders have, a lot less problematic in low light.

 

In low light the then dimmed bright lines are still clearly visible, but the finder has much less flare.

I just joined the M6 party after my M2 was destroyed while touring California.

 

Lovely black one to compliment my silver MP. Black dot too, and MP finder.

 

 

...good news and felicitations, Adrian Lord. Question - does touring California really destroy M2s? Really?? :D

...good to hear the ol' M6 is back and doing what it was designed to do, Mike - in future, it is worth remembering that even the best tools need regular servicing. :)

 

Yep, take your point however I didn't buy expecting it to have a fault. Then I'm sure the guy who originally part/exed it knew there was a problem with, perhaps thats why he chopped it in. ;) However it was an intermittent fault which had the M technician and Nobby Clark at Leica MK scratching their heads because it only manifested itself when shooting under certain light conditions and not on every frame :confused:.

 

Still its back and working like a dream :D

I've had an M8 for a year. It was my first rangefinder. Two days ago I bought this M6 second hand.

 

And it all fell into place.

 

The sound of the shutter. The feel of the camera in my hand. The balance. The 35mm frame lines extending almost to the edge of the viewfinder. Inserting the film.

 

Film!

 

Knowing that within this body of brass resides my pictures, and it will take days, maybe weeks before I know how they look like. Thinking before I shoot. Ordering chemicals and a change bag to process myself for the first time in my life. How calm I feel!

 

The M8 will have to go.

 

I love my M6.
