- M6 35mm Film Rangefinder 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 analog 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 analog photography.

The legendary Leica M6 is an icon. Intuitive, compact and discreet, it allows you to get up close to the action - and to real emotions. Since 1984, it has been the camera of choice for many of the world's best photographers, who have used it to create countless iconic images. In a world that is moving faster than ever, analogue photography is experiencing a renaissance, as people embrace traditional values like reliability, trust and quality. People want cameras with a soul. Like the Leica M6. Embodying only the essentials, it reflects a conscious rejection of countless features in favour of focussing on what's necessary. To revisit photography as an active, creative process and to tell intimate stories. The new Leica M6. The rebirth of an icon "Made in Germany".

Extraordinarily versatile
For over 150 years, Leica has been developing outstandingly precise optical tools, which they constantly refine to stay ahead of the curve. Each is a masterpiece equipped with state-of-the-art technology. One of these masterpieces is our extremely versatile standard lens Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH., which is created to give photographers more freedom - for images of outstanding quality with maximum creative flexibility. Its high-end technology exploits the full performance potential of new camera sensors, offering exceptionally high-contrast and incredibly detailed images. In almost any photographic situation. In virtually any ambient light.

Focus on the world, from 45cm to eternity
The Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH. makes detailed close-ups possible thanks to a double cam mechanism and a minimum focusing distance of 45 centimeters. Specially developed by engineers, it greatly increases the rotation range of the distance ring compared to the previous model. This facilitates extremely easy and convenient focusing over the entire range, particularly in the extended close-up range. Distances as short as 70 centimeters are handled via the rangefinder. For the extended close-up range of 70 to 45 centimeters, you can focus via Live View on the screen, Visoflex or the Leica FOTOS App.

Hassle-free photography
The Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH. is as compact as ever with unchanged dimensions and weighing in at just 337 grams. The pictures it produces are on a whole new level. Compared to the previous model, 11 instead of 9 aperture blades ensure an even rounder bokeh with the unmistakable Leica look. The modern, round design of the lens hood offers even more flexibility. It's integrated directly in the lens and can be screwed on or off with a flick of the wrist.
