Model Details

Manual focus M-mount 35mm rangefinder camera introduced by Leica in 1997. The M6 is similar to the M4-P but adds through-the-lens metering. The top cover was changed to a zinc casting making the M6 stronger than the previous M series cameras. At launch, the M6 was only available with a 0.72x viewfinder. This model from 1997 introduced a 0.85x viewfinder making it more suited for lenses 50mm or longer. This change also removed the 28mm framelines. The 0.85x M6 has framelines for 35/135mm, 50/75mm, and 90mm in the viewfinder and was only available in black. Metal body available in black (10413).

Leica M

Leica’s M mount was introduced in 1953 alongside its first camera, the M3. Despite the rise of the SLR, Leica cameras have continued to succeed as their unique combination of build quality, speed, and discretion sets them apart from competition. The M bayonet mount, and the cameras introduced alongside it, offered (& continue to offer) a number of advantages over SLRs and other rangefinder cameras.

One big advantage is automatic framelines, which react to the lens on the camera to show accurate framelines in the viewfinder. This is even possible with older Leica Thread Mount (LTM) lenses if the correct adapter is used.

Other manufacturers, such as Cosina Voigtländer, Carl Zeiss, Konica, and Minolta, have also produced rangefinder cameras using Leica M mount.
