BjarniM Posted March 6, 2023 Share #1 Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Regarding the new M6’s, which are said to scratch the negatives/positives, as I understand from debate on the internet: - Is the problem fixed from Leica’s side? - Which serials are affected? - Which cameras with regards to production year(s) and month(s) 20xx/xx are affected? - Is it ‘safe’ to buy the new M6 produced after a certain production month? (Sorry if the answers to my questions are to be found within the many posts here in this forum the last months. I have looked there, but I can’t see that all these questions are covered/answered there.) Edited March 6, 2023 by BjarniM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Leica may not know the answers to all of them. All we have are the reports about specific cameras you've probably already seen. A 'bad batch' of pressure plates has been mentioned, but it's unclear how big this batch is, or whether all plates in it are affected, or if it includes all the recent problematic plates. And this is a problem we've seen before from time to time, with earlier reports going back decades - e.g., there was supposedly another bad batch early in the M6 Classic era.
