M6 Rangefinder Black Paint

Film Camera

 

For more than 100 years, Leica Camera AG has been a synonym for cameras and lenses with permanent values such as reliability, consistency, and quality. With analogue photography experiencing a renaissance – the new Leica M6 represents Leica Camera’s continued commitment to these values.

The Leica M6 from 2022 relies on a modern version of the Leica M rangefinder with a 0.72x magnification. Furthermore, all of its optical surfaces are now coated and thus less sensitive to stray light. The light meter in the latest M6 now shows the correct exposure via a red dot in addition to the two arrow symbols originally used. Additionally, it is equipped with a battery warning indicator. The top cover has also been redesigned: while the cover of the preceding model was made of diecast zinc, it is now milled from solid brass and enhanced with an abrasion-resistant black lacquer. The exposure meter in the M6 measures light via a brightened area on the mechanically controlled cloth shutter. Like the original from 1984, the new edition of the M6 is also adorned with the red Leitz logo.

The M6 remains true to itself and preserves all other typical character traits such as the slanted rewind crank for the film. Handmade in Germany, it is an extremely reliable companion for all those who appreciate the lasting and contemplative nature of analogue photography.

Viewfinder

Large, bright-line rangefinder with automatic parallax compensation

Parallax compensation

The horizontal and vertical difference between viewfinder and lens is compensated automatically in line with the relevant focus setting. Congruence of viewfinder and actual image. The size of the bright-line frame matches the distance: – at 2m: the exact sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8mm – at infinity: (depending on focal length) approx. 7.3% (28mm) to 18% (135 mm) – less than 2m: less than film size

Viewfinder magnification

x0.72 (all lenses)

Wide- base rangefinder

Split and superimposed image rangefinder shown as a bright field in the center of the viewfinder image

Shutter type

Focal plane shutter with rubber liner, mechanically controlled

Metering principle

The light reflected by a metering spot in the center of the 1st shutter curtain is metered. The metering spot has a diameter of 12mm and therefore corresponds to approx. 13% of the full negative format or around 2/3 of the short side of the corresponding frame in the viewfinder.

On the 1st shutter curtain

Flash sync speed

1/50s; slower shutter speeds possible.
