  • I "Like-A" my Leica M6 Rangefinder BETTER Than any SLR! I've owned a Leica Rangefinder for close to a decade and I think they are better than SLRs for MOST types of photography. Of course there's some types of photography that you just can't accomplish with a rangefinder, but that's a small percentage of the types of photos that us "non-pros" take.

    there are plenty of fantastic quality slrs and rangefinders out there, you don't need to drop thousands on a leica, get an slr and a rangefinder and enjoy the strengths of each ! you don't have to choose one over the other.

    Excellent, exciting presentation with gorgeous photos that sing! I loved your Mamiya 645 video demonstrating a camera a wee more affordable. Thank you for such wonderful photographic essays.

    I always appreciate your videos. I did a two-week trip earlier this year to Taiwan with my M6 and 28-50-90 lens kit, and now I am in Vietnam with my Nikon FM3a and a 28-58-100 kit.

    Thank you for stating the essence of this camera in plain English. So many of the Pros that still use Leica get wrapped up around the "Leica Experience", that they never really explain what is going on with the differences between the two styles of cameras. The essence is who is control of the photographic process, the photographer or the camera.

    Thank-you for the video. Do you have any trouble focusing with the 50mm Summicron? I am wondering if there are limitations/frustrations with the 0.72 M6 with the small focusing patch and smaller frame lines. Cheers from Canada.

    Thanks for another great video. The only rangefinder I have is the Canon GIII QL17 and I have never really bonded with it, finding the focusing extremely difficult to see. On the other hand, it does produce nice images. This makes me wonder about a Leica - I've never handled one - but wonder if it would be worth it. I really like my Nikons - from oldies from the 70s to the F100 - and digital too; and equally I like my Oly OM1, 2, 4. Ah, well . . . I really enjoyed your insights as to why you like the Leica RFs so much.

    How are you able to use the viewfinder (especially the wider angle frame lines) with those glasses of yours? My glasses are similar in size as yours and the first time I used a Leica, I was very disappointed because I wasn't able to to see the wider frame lines due to the distance caused by my glasses - in effect, my eyes are farther away from the viewfinder. It doesn't allow for accurate composition

    Hi... very well articulated views. While most of the views are related to technical, in my world IT, they are called functional requirements(FR), there are non-functional requirements(NFR) that also important to be successful. One of the main technical thing about Leica is not the body but the lenses that make them absolutely joy, the NFR of within budget makes them a bit difficult for us non- pros.
