Abram Posted February 1, 2018 Share #1221 Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you for advice. I will wait for any offer MP/M-A around 2500 euro :-) With some patience you will be able to find one. When I got my M-A in 2015 it was $2500USD, it also had essentially been unused, came complete in the box (even had the roll of tri-x still inside). It will be my forever camera as I received it to mark a special occasion in my life. I love your idea to have it be for your daughter, it's a beautiful sentiment!

Les100 Posted February 17, 2018 Share #1225 Posted February 17, 2018 Hi. Does anybody know what this silver tab on my M6 is for? I’ve seen it on the M2&M3 but never on a M6. Welcome, dear visitor!

Martin B Posted February 17, 2018 Share #1227 Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi. Does anybody know what this silver tab on my M6 is for? I’ve seen it on the M2&M3 but never on a M6.0A74AF5A-2A82-49D1-BD66-9D723BC1770D.jpeg Simple - it is just the fix point for the bottom plate to make sure that the plate sits correctly and is light-sealed after inserting the film in the camera. EDIT: not so sure right now - the fix point should have the metal surrounding from the base plate around it which I don't see in the photo above. Should be also on the other side of the camera......no idea what it might be. Edited February 17, 2018 by Martin B Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martin, but this is on the other side of the camera. The lefthand side when viewed from the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my M6 doesn't have this - no idea what it was used for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2018 Share #1230 Posted February 17, 2018 I believe it was used for some kind of flash bracket for the M3, M2 and M1. I think with the M4 there was a hot shoe on the camera, hence that specific flash bracket was no longer needed and thus the little knob could be avoided. How it got on your M6, I don't know. Could be a body transfer from a doner M3/2/1? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted February 17, 2018 Share #1231 Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Hello Everybody, The M4 has a "cold" shoe. Just like an M3, M2 & M1. What the M4 has in terms of flash that The M3, M2 & M1 do not have is: Standard PC (Prontor-Compur) flash terminals in their bodies. The M3, M2 & M1 have the (Better) proprietary Leitz flash terminals that the Industry decided NOT to adopt. M4's have PC flash terminals & "cold" shoes. The first "M" camera with a hot shoe is the M5. The M5 has 3 separate flash connections: Bulb & Blitz on the back (Standard PC) and Blitz in the hot shoe. Which is why it is called a hot shoe. The "silver tab" was on the first "M" camera: The M3. Also on the M2 & on the M1. Also on some later laboratory cameras. The M4 did not have a second tab but it could be ordered as an aftermarket add on. If the M4 user needed it. The second tab was used for aligning the "M" camera when it was attached to certain types of laboratory & copying equipment. Best Regards, Michael Edited February 17, 2018 by Michael Geschlecht Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2018 Share #1232 Posted February 18, 2018 Hey Michael, Thanks for clearing that up! I guess I mixed up the M4 with the later M4-2 and M4-P. Glad you could help with the correct information! Kind regards, David Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aguilera85 Posted May 4, 2018 Share #1239 Posted May 4, 2018 Just got my M6 and Summaron back from getting CLA'd by Youxin Ye! He is incredibly backed up with work, but still managed to get them back to me in a little over a month. They look incredible and are performing beautifully as expected from someone so highly regarded. Can't wait to finish this roll of Tmax 400 and see the sharp results!

mozg31337 Posted June 17, 2018 Share #1240 Posted June 17, 2018 It's a late reply, but I have recently experienced this issue. You know what, changing the battery fixed my problem! 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...
