menos I M6 Posted March 2, 2012 Share #583 Posted March 2, 2012 My chrome M6 classic has been my very first Leica, I bought two years ago. It entirely turned my ideas about taking pictures upside down. Even after getting many other fantastic cameras, to use, I swore, I won't sell the M6 - got to hold on to it - set up and shot in a hurry with my freshly overhauled Graphic 4x5 with Schneider 135 f4.7 lens on Ilford HP5. 4x5 by teknopunk.com, on Flickr 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
payasam Posted March 2, 2012 Share #584 Posted March 2, 2012 Here's my M6 after the finder downgrade/restoration. Leica USA sent a red dot at no charge, which I covered with some matt black paint I had left over from a two-hood job. It's not difficult to make the raised lettering silver, but I prefer the dot as it is. Welcome, dear visitor!

payasam Posted May 4, 2012 Share #589 Posted May 4, 2012 If it is from an early batch and has in fact not been used, there's a possibility that the lubricants in it will have hardened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelM6 Posted May 4, 2012 Share #590 Posted May 4, 2012 If it is from an early batch and has in fact not been used, there's a possibility that the lubricants in it will have hardened. I didn't mean to confuse anyone. I know that it has in fact been used. Its an '89 serial. The previous owner did in fact use the camera, but the original owner was a bit of a collector and apparently used it very sparingly. It literally does not have a scratch or mark on it. I sort of wish it did! Now I'm going to have to baby it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB_tx Posted May 29, 2012 Share #600 Posted May 29, 2012 I took both my M6 and M9 on a month-long consulting trip, doing the tourist routine along the way. I loved using the M6 more - just something about the handling and shooting process is more enjoyable. The Ektra and Portra were scanned by the lab to resolution a bit higher than the M9, and results were indeed very good. The M9 clearly has the edge in fine detail that gets lost in the grain of film, but I really like the color in film. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
