Where is the follow up video?
Man... I already have a silver chrome M7, but a black chrome M6 classic would be really nice.
For me it's the exact opposite haha
What’s the difference between big logo M6 and normal m6?
Is it TTL vs non-TTL?
Just a special edition. Nothing else. If I’m not mistaken, the Big Logo Leicas were made in Canada. TTL leicas are different. Shutter Speed dial is bigger and moves in the opposite direction.
you missed number 5
When you are using the focusing scale. If you change the aperture, you also need to move the scale to the appropriate number on the scale. Example: At F16, infinity signed is placed at F16. If you move the aperture to F4, you also need to move the infinity sign to F4 on the scale. Otherwise, good information on your video.
Hey what happens if you don’t do this?
@@itsdakku @clandestino31 that isn't 100% correct, aperture is related to depth of field completely irrespective of focus.
@@anthonyultra2 yeah, you can keep focus at whatever you want as long you know what your aperture is doing and adjust for a widening or narrowing of the field of focus.
No shooting tips
Where do you switch the camera on, and where do you switch it off? Again, left unclear. Because people can read out loud but have no clue. Instead some fake old-school advice about double-stroke for a non-double-stroke camera and if you go that far (into work-arounds), why don’t you explain how multi-exposure works here?
That is one of the 'issues' with this camera. The light meter is activated by slight pressure on the shutter release button. It times out after many seconds. If the camera shutter is cocked (ready to take a picture) and the camera is in your bag and you accidentally apply pressure to the top of the release, the meter will turn on in your bag. So, potentially you can drain your batteries prematurely. The good news is if you drain your batteries, the camera is still useable at all shutter speeds albeit with out the advantage of the light meter (which is the only thing powered by the batteries). The next version, Leica M6TTL had an off switch built into the shutter speed dial.
