The Leica M6 Has Been Elevated for Present-Day Photographers

— October 21, 2022 — Tech
The Leica M6 is a classic camera from yesteryear, which has been given a modern overhaul to make it relevant for present-day shutterbugs to use in the field. The camera is built by hand in Germany to maintain an attention to high-quality detail and features the Leica M rangefinder with a 0.72x magnification, while still only offering 1/1,000th max shutter speed. The fully mechanical shutter offers a gratifying experience with every press, while the light meter displays proper exposure with a simple red dot.

The new Leica M6 is priced at $5,295 and boasts a metallic top base machined out of solid brass with reinforcement from an abrasion-resistant lacquer. This replaces the previous die-cast zinc material to further modernize the photography piece.
