greg_may_ Posted June 9, 2017 Share #1181 Posted June 9, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dunk it's in addition of your DMR ! Congrats Greg, very nice color . What is this film ? Thanks to share your pictures with us ,all passionate and "bitten" by film in "I like film" thread https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/205842-i-like-filmopen-thread/page-1684 and you are welcome Best Henry Henry, Thank you for your comments. The film is a quite simple Kodak Colourplus 200 - works quite well in decent light, suffers badly indoors. I normally shoot B&W (Canon AE-P - but now my M6) so the change to colour was nice to have. I've a few rolls of old Portra sitting in a drawer that will get used at somepoint in the future. Greg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioF Posted June 11, 2017 Share #1182 Posted June 11, 2017 I don't know how/when but I broke the rewind knob of the M6. I got a new one from a store in Vienna as Leica Italy took forever to reply. Hopefully it'll work next time I load film. It seems like it is really a weak spot of the camera.

gbealnz Posted June 11, 2017 Share #1183 Posted June 11, 2017 Yes Antonio, it is quite a weak spot, but equally simple to repair. Gary 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clactonian Posted June 11, 2017 Share #1184 Posted June 11, 2017 I am currently on the market for a 50, how is the viewfinder blockage with this lens? Some, but not excessive. Worse obviously if you use a hood, but then a ventilated hood restores some of the scene. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it can help , you have this new knob and you have just a screw for disassembling http://www.dagcamera.com/store/p120/New__Chrome_M_rewind_Knob.html Never forced when rewinding Henry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found one at Leica Shop in Wien and it costed 58 euro with shipping. Not too bad! Leica UK sells it for a similar price too. I have already assembled it but I need to put film in it and try. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted June 11, 2017 Share #1187 Posted June 11, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) It is a simple fix Antonio. I had the top plate of a previous M6, it was quite dusty within the V/F, and it annoyed me. So I located the applicable tools, and opened it up. Quite simple in the end, and the rewind knob was part way through this process. Gary 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes54 Posted June 18, 2017 Share #1188 Posted June 18, 2017 Hi, I would like to know if anyone else has problems seeing the meter diodes on their M6 or M6TTL, outside. Mine are quite faint, easily seen inside but outside it is very difficult see them and in sunlight almost impossible to see. W. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted June 19, 2017 Share #1189 Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Wes , battery is right , I mean the unique (ref CR1/3N)* not in two parts ?

Graham (G4FUJ) Posted June 19, 2017 Share #1190 Posted June 19, 2017 Yes, I was going to suggest check the battery. It is mentioned in the handbook if I remember correctly? Hope that is the answer Wes Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that is the answer Wes Thanks for the response. I've changed the battery but still not clearly visible in daylight.. I must put my finger across the bottom of the viewfinder to clearly see the diodes. I have read on the internet that sometimes there is a battery drain with two little 'pins at the bottom of the battery chamber that are used for diagnostics, but when I unscrew the cover and take the battery out I can only see the "coil' at the bottom of the chamber not the 2 x pins??

jeff_m Posted September 21, 2017 Share #1198 Posted September 21, 2017 My M6’s would be the Leica’s that I would not part with. I’ve had them with me since the 80’s and they have been around the world with me. I shoot mostly digital now, but I became the photographer that I am today because of these cameras and they have given a lot back over the years. I still shoot film from time to time to get the film look and I miss the smell of fixer. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
