photowang Posted April 26, 2016 Share #1061 Posted April 26, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I love my black classic M6, too. Honestly, I do. Sadly, after only 3 rolls of film into it, my M6 decided that it did not love me and is now on its way to DAG for repair (shutter wound and stuck at 90%). I hope to come back here soon with a picture of it fresh from DAG's evil laboratory for misbehaved cameras. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted April 27, 2016 Share #1062 Posted April 27, 2016 Bad start for a first post here. Hopefully the rest will be of a more positive experience. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photowang Posted April 27, 2016 Share #1063 Posted April 27, 2016 Bad start for a first post here. Hopefully the rest will be of a more positive experience. These cameras are pushing 30+ years now, so it's understandable. I had an awesome time using it though, and can't wait to resume making photos with it again.

DW_BP Posted May 10, 2016 Share #1064 Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Hi all, My first post here... as this morning my first Leica arrived (M6 0.85, and 50 Summicron). It has been years since I picked up an M camera (an old friend's), and there were a few things I'd forgotten. 1. How small the camera is 2. How heavy the camera is 3. How great it feels in the hand - showing that ergonomics is more than just molded hand grips. 4. How bright the framelines are! Tomorrow, I'll run some film through it. (despite the forecast of thunderstorms) Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

DW_BP Posted May 10, 2016 Share #1069 Posted May 10, 2016 Sweet Sweet Sweet. Thanks, Trev. I was nervous, buying it on eBay... but the seller was great (selling off her father's gear - he'd mainly used Nikon cameras, and had used the Leica only a few times, preferring to keep it as a collector's item), and both camera and lens were in mint condition. She was happy selling it to someone who plans to use it daily. I got both items for a good price (good in terms of Leica prices). I see you're from Guildford. I live in Budapest now, but I'm originally from Sussex. Duncan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted May 10, 2016 Share #1070 Posted May 10, 2016 Duncan. So glad you are going to put it to good use. Sadly had to let my M6 go (cash flow). Saving hard. still got M4-p though.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcspeed Posted May 15, 2016 Share #1071 Posted May 15, 2016 Nice place to put mine 20160405_1678.jpg 20160405_1679.jpg This is a beautiful chrome kit! Looks like it would be a perfect light travel set up. All that's missing is a wide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcspeed Posted May 15, 2016 Share #1072 Posted May 15, 2016 Also, does the signature of the 90 match the 50 elmar? I have a 50 elmar as well and am looking for a 90 to pair with it. The 90 macro-elmar would be my first choice if not for the high price for a slow lens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analogon Posted June 24, 2016 Share #1078 Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) My beloved M6 TTL with the Voigtländer Color Skopar 35mm lens. I started out with a Zeiss ZM 50 mm f/1.5, but sold that one and now solely use this wonderful 35mm. Edited June 24, 2016 by Analogon 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxip Posted August 23, 2016 Share #1079 Posted August 23, 2016 3/4 of a year ago I sold my M6 Classic 0.72 with my 35 Summicron IV German Made( I cry everyday about selling this lens) because I didn't like the 0.72 Magnification. I only shot 35mm (and sometimes dream about 24). I the meantime I moved on to a beautiful T2, such a joy to use and clearly the best P&S ever made. But finally I got a really nice M6 TTL with the rare 0.58 magnification. Shot the first 36 frame yesterday in less than 1 hour. The viewfinder is so amazing! It also came with the rare version I of the Voigtländer 35 1.2. A beast of a lens. I never saw such a sick build quality before and I even shot canon's 85L and 50L. This thing is build like a tank but really smooth and buttery. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwj Posted August 23, 2016 Share #1080 Posted August 23, 2016 @maxip, nice set up with a bit of wear showing through the black chrome. I like it! Do you get a lot of VF blockage with the 0.58 and the (large) 1.2/35? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
