Got both my M6 "Classics" back from DAG this week. Since I bought both used I figured better get them checked out. I figure a family photo with my M3 and M5 was in order 😁

I ran a roll of HP5 through the 1 on the left yesterday. 1 on the right I'll get a neck strap for and test next week. I was going to get a new 2022 M6 but figured 2 is better than 1 and i like the chrome look better for Leica's, it looks "classical"

I love my M6TTL, my first M bought new almost 25 years ago... upgraded to MP viewfinder, as new, works like a charm, though it went 40+ times 4000m above sea level in my backpack.

The normal M6 can be fitted with a top plate with teeth? Or did u do modifications? Always love to see your customised bodies, mind blowing

For the anedote, the above featured 35mm v2 Summilux lens was heavily modified and the all lens elements were replaced / transplanted from a damaged donor 1964 v1 lens.

No more steel rim yet a fully functioning hybrid lens 🌞

The M6J top plate only accepts the M4/M6 slanted rewind lever !

Just bought a Titanium version, thought to share it here. For some reason it had the leather replaced, although it looks very lightly used. Loaded with some Lomo Metropolis, just can't wait to get the film developed, so to know it has no problems.

I actually think the new leather looks better than the normal ostrich/emu 1. I wouldn't change it if I got one but do think the black looks better with the titanium finish
