{"product_id":"leica-m6-blk","title":"Leica M6 Rangefinder Camera","description":"\u003ch3\u003eLeica M6 – an icon of analog photography\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe legendary \u003cstrong\u003eLeica M6\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe rangefinder – The heart of every Leica M camera\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rangefinder provides an exceptionally bright view with excellent contrast, and it lets you see beyond the actual frame of your final image. This gives you a wider view of the scene, and puts you in full control when focussing and exposing. The M6 uses a mechanical rangefinder with 0.72x viewfinder magnification, handcrafted from over 100 individual parts. The aperture and exposure time can be precisely determined thanks to selective exposure metering through the lens, and the light balance displayed in the lower part of the viewfinder. Focusing is done using a superimposed image method or split image method. Both are ideal for focusing quickly with extreme precision, even in poor lighting conditions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe advantages of rangefinder photography\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee more, react better. The rangefinder technology in the M6 lets you see beyond the picture frame, so you can assess the exactly right moment to release the shutter. Illuminated framelines highlight the image field for six focal lengths, arranged in pairs for 28 and 90 mm, 35 and 135 mm, as well as 50 and 75 mm. After attaching a lens, the corresponding focal length automatically appears in the viewfinder as framelines. In addition, all other framelines can be displayed in the rangefinder using the field selector. This allows you to select the appropriate focal length for your subject before releasing the shutter – and to capture your image at the decisive moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eIconic design\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM cameras have not only been capturing iconic images for decades, they have become icons themselves. Simple elegance, absolute reliability and high-quality materials combine in the iconic design that defines every M camera. Design that stands the test of time. For instance, thanks to the highly scratch-resistant lacquer, solid brass top cap and robust leatherette that is used for the M6. In addition, the anti-reflective coating of the glass surfaces, prevents disruption from scattered light. True to the original from 1984, the new generation is adorned with the red Leitz logo. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eTrue value endures\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrends come and go, but real values stand the test of time, as they are passed on from generation to generation. Leica cameras and lenses are a testament to the traditional values of durability, reliability and quality. They represent real, tangible quality, achieved through high-grade materials and solid mechanics. Leica has always manufactured its precision tools by hand, developing mechanical and optical masterpieces that are second to none, constantly setting new standards. Genuine, tangible quality \"Made in Germany\" – with the sole purpose of giving you maximum freedom in your photography at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eA milestone in the company's history\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong Leica’s rangefinder cameras, the Leica M6 has a very special role to play: From 1984 to 2002, it was manufactured almost 175,000 times and served the best photographers as an instrument to capture their view of the world. This resulted in numerous pictures which today represent a piece of contemporary history. Still handmade in Germany today, the current Leica M6 is an extremely reliable companion for all those who appreciate the conscious experience of analog photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.72x Viewfinder with Coated Glass Surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Brass Top Plate Enhanced with Abrasion Resistant Black Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Leitz Logo \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal M6 Style Packaging \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated Light Meter Indicator with Battery Warning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Leica M6 Style ISO Dial, Newly Developed with Modern Electronic Components Inside \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather Carrying Strap with Embossed LEICA lettering \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Black Leatherette with Leica M6 Typical \"MADE IN GERMANY\" Embossing \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e35mm analogue rangefinder camera \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003esystem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType No. 2248\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed Full Metal Housing, Top Cover And Bottom Cover: Brass, Black Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeica M bayonet lens mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating conditions: 0°C to +40°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterfaces ISO accessory shoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTripod thread A 1⁄4 DIN 4503 (1⁄4”) with stainless steel in the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge, bright-line rangefinder viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallax compensation: The horizontal and vertical difference between viewfinder and lens is compensated automatically in line with the relevant focus setting.
