Mr. Tanno, I enjoy listening to your reviews. You like your culture is so respectful and everything is done with such grace and art. I wish I could speak Japanese as well as you speak English. I too love the Leica M3, I have two. I appreciated your review of it and the 50mm and 35 mm lens with goggels. Keep up your great reviews. James Stratakos
I can read the warm encouragement in your words and I am so grateful. Glad you liked my video and it's the most meaningful comment I've ever received. Thank you very much Mr. Stratakos.:))
Thank you for a wonderfull video. I shoot with an old Leica M6 - bought from new in 1996. A 35 mm1.4 ASPH Summilux same year. You were vey very precise. Yes - there are differences between the TTL and the old one. I´ve taken pictures I love with my Leica camera. I know my Leica inside out. Sometimes with the internal lightmeter - sometimes with a dedicated Lightmeter (Sekonic L-308S) You just have to have the eye for a nice photograph and know your camera. Then you’ll get it. Feel a little bit sorry for the people who have to choose a camera today. They have to remember that the good picture has nothing to do with the camera. It has something to do with YOU - the photographer. Nice gear is nice. Just not the most important thing. Again - thank you for the video. Just the way I think about taking important pictures.
Totally agree with your very wise friend that the TTL is ugly compared to the M6 classic. That 2mm makes a huge difference to the aesthetics. The M3 is still the most beautiful of them all, however. Great video 🙂
thank you for your effort! really well made and i could get all information i needed. more about how to handle light and metering while using the m6. stay safe🙏🏻
Hi Steven, I enjoy watching you videos very much. Some videos I watch many times. I have a few questions for you. Do you recommend to use color filters for black and white photography? I love your black and white film images do you shoot digitals too? Which lens you like better summilux 35 pre-A? Or Summicron 八枚玉? Thank you Steven! And wish you the best!
I only use filters when shooting landscape and mostly when shoot 120 film. Recently I shoot digital much rare but I like shoot digital with vintage lenses. Leica 50 f1.0 is an another very unique lens not say better, they are all good.
I think the reason why M6 doesn’t have self timer is because of the light meter.M5 had self timer and light meter,but was a lot bigger.Leica wanted a camera with light meter but with the size of M3.The only solution for this was to remove the self timer.
Very interesting video recording and my friend got a Leica M6 NONE TTL Model and he has it for 20 years now and he want to sale it to me for £1.000 second hand
@@StevenTanno thank you steve! I own a Q2, so should probably get the one that has the dial that moves in the same direction! do you know which one moves in the same direction as the Q2?!
Hi, sorry for the convoluted question... I don't know if you can help me. I recently bought a used M6 TTL. I inserted a Duracell 1/3N lithium battery (also recommended by Leica specifications), but when I look in the viewfinder I don't see the red arrows and the exposure dot... I don't have a lens to try it. I tried without lens ... is it normal or should they see each other even without mounting the lens? Thank you.
One of the best videos by a photographer that knows and enjoys his M6! Amazing images and work!!
Steve- you have also shown the beauty of the 35mm focal length on the M! :)

Been using my silver classic without a meter for about 5 years! Sweet video, very friendly and joyful manner :)
thanks:)

The TTL metering is good for FASTER SHUTTER speeds When you want to take fast action photos which is useful
always great content, thank you for sharing your thoughts and your expertise
Really stunning images 👍
Thank you :)
Thanks for the video.
I have the classic titanium M6. Love it !
Good choice!

Thanks:)you can try to use it for month and then buy or not.
If everything works I would buy it. Fantastic camera I have used for 30 years and still use

Great video! Is the shutter dial on TTL much easier to turn? Can’t decide between the two, I shoot mostly street photography
thank you 😄。ttl will more rasy
at first but after shoot for long time there are same,both all rasy I think.
@@StevenTanno thank you steve! I own a Q2, so should probably get the one that has the dial that moves in the same direction! do you know which one moves in the same direction as the Q2?!
What’s best camera straps for Leica M?

They should be see even without lens, but you should advance the film and confirm speed dial is not on ‘off’. Then tap the shutter release.
@@StevenTanno I did as you said and I see the exposure arrows. Thanks so much Steven!!
Why is it that I see voigtlander body caps on M bodies so often? 🤣😂 Ebay / CZcams etc. Who is hoarding the Leica body caps?
Because there is a price difference between the two :)
@@StevenTanno yeah, but the M body comes with a Leica body cap, so where are they all going? 😀 great video btw thanks
93MM _ China!😂
How reliable/durable is the Leica M6 classic? Does this camera last a lifetime?
I think it can be used until the film disappears completely, except for its light mete,:)
If everything works it will last a lifetime. Mine is 30 years old and as new. Just a few scratches I made 🙂
