I love my M6. Had it for almost eight years after selling all my digital gear. I got a story for you. When my M6 arrived, I looked at the serial number and right dead in the middle was the digits of my birthday. You know I'm never selling this.
Wow, that is a nice story😀
I like a lot this vintage corner, pictures taken with m6 are really stunning, got that old fashioned look no digital camera could reproduce either way.
Thanks!
Superb video you’ve done🤗
Thank you very much🙏🏻
My pleasure 😊 Thank you so much.
Excellent video on these two luxurious items. Very very interesting considering what has allready been said on these items with great summaries on upsides and downsides. Thank you for your work
Thanks for watching!
A well done review. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Very nice vintage.
Great video! I love film cameras, and I myself have a number of them. I really enjoyed your review, it was a nice "flashback", pun intended! Haha
Awesome, thank you!
In my film days, I used the Leica M6 35mm rangefinder for shooting street, reportage, landscapes, and travel. I used the following lenses:
21mm f/1.4 Leitz
35mm f/1.4 Zeiss
90mm f/2 Leitz
The main feature I liked about the M6 was the quiet operation due to no mirror slap.
Thanks for sharing.
Love! Same year as mine.
Vintage Corner - perfect! A like for this alone … ;-)
Thanks so much. I use the same duo (Summilux 46 filter, non ASPH, M6) and I agree totally with your comments.. My Nikon F2 is much heavier, dim viewfinder, etc. The M6 is the clear winner for me. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing!
Vintage corner! Super! Thank You for Your videos, great work!!!
I used M6 with 50 and 35mm asph summicrons and I hated it! Never perfectly composed frame, never focused where I wanted to . In plus there is no exposure modes so negatives are evenly exposed once you get experianced.
I ve been shooting with canon nikon minolta slrs ...and in my opinion there is nothing close to Contax RTS III with vacum backplate plus bright carl zeiss planars in terms of quality performance and funcionality.... and yes Carl Zeiss is very expensive too!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this. I’m thinking of adding a Contax slr to my Contax G2. Can’t decide between the RTSIII, Aria, RX etc..
@@GaIvatr0n If you are going to use bright glass wide open (like 1.4 and also 1.8) RTS III gives you plain focal surface of your film and extremely sharp results...
A fair review! One more advantage of the rangefinder: One can use an ND filter and still have full brightness of the viewfinder (same with B&W filters, like dark orange or red). There's a special polarizer from Leica, but it is a bit cumbersome (I use it on other old cameras too, like folding 6x6 and 6x9 cameras); a bit costly, though … ;-)
Thanks!
If you think it's cumbersome, than you know it's not for you.
By some miracles if I ever go into film, I will get an M6. Me and M6 were born on the same year.
The best vintage😀
I'm born same year with the most hated camera. Nikon F4. :)
I love rangefinders. The ability to see outside frame is so great for street photography. But the framing on 90mm and 135mm is so painful. I almost never use longer than 50mm with Leica cameras.
I suppose Leicas, and rangefinders in general, were never really intended for much longer than 75mm.
Got a Contax G2 to rival the quality. Would love an M6 for the manual aspect and German engineering but the price is too insane and it feels like a slippery slope into a gentleman’s club of no expense ever spared. Great review !
Thanks. I had both the G1 and G2 when they were new a few years back😀 The lenses were awesome and I got some great photos on them, but never really got used to the AF, which I never felt confident with. Beautiful cameras though.
Being a fan of Cartier Bresson I always wanted a Leica M. Unfortunately I could never afford it.
An M is certainly desirable. You can get the M2 for almost reasonable money, though, and it's not far from the M6 what comes to shooting.
The moment I started the video I had to pause it and look up the prices for the M6...😞. Nice video though.
Thanks! So, did you find a good one?😀
sulantoblog Nothing that fits in my budget.
@sulantoblog
Do you own an M6 now?
No, I don't own any film cameras.
I got a friend of mine who want to sale his Leica N6 NONO TTL camera body only to me for £500.00 and he has his camera for over 20 years and he never used it
Sounds good😀
Give me an M2 anyway
i just found a Leica M6 "Ein Stück Leica Börsengang 1996" and the price is 4500 euros(((
Some of the collectible models can be really expensive.
Film is to expensive to develop
It can be a bit pricey.
@@mattisulanto too expensive
Having owned a Trip of Leica, M6, M3 and M2 and a collection of Leica Apo, Asph, Vintage lenses for longer than I can remember, I have to say that those who are blindly lusting after these expensive luxuries are deluded to say the least. Neither the M6 in combination of any of the mentioned lenses will not make anyone a better photographer. Judge yourselves by the at best mediocre images posted on the Social Media. Neither do the Digital equivalent s of the classic Ms. It is the photographer that counts not the bloody equipment.once and for all. Sorry to be blunt.
Thanks for your insights.
Leica M3, M2 and M4 say no more..M6 over rated and over priced!!
