For over 100 years, the traditional company Leica Camera AG has been synonymous with cameras and lenses with enduring values ​​such as reliability, durability and quality. These values ​​are gaining importance again. Analogue photography is also experiencing a renaissance and with it the Leica M6. It has a very special role among Leica's rangefinder cameras: almost 175,000 were manufactured between 1984 and 2002 and served the best photographers as an instrument to capture their view of the world. This resulted in numerous images that today represent a piece of contemporary history. With the new edition of the legendary rangefinder camera, Leica is now fulfilling the desire of younger target groups in particular to become an active part of the photographic creative process again. The M6 ​​still offers exactly the right equipment to concentrate on the essentials when taking photos. 

The 2022 Leica M6 features a modern version of the rangefinder with 0.72x magnification. In addition, all of its optical surfaces are now coated and therefore less sensitive to stray light. Instead of originally only being protected by two Arrow symbols, the light balance of the current M6 now also shows the correct exposure via a red dot. It also has a battery warning indicator. The top cap has also been updated: While the previous model was made of die-cast zinc, it is now milled from solid brass and coated with an abrasion-resistant black varnish. The exposure meter of the M6 ​​measures the light with a strong emphasis on the center over a light-colored area on the mechanically controlled cloth shutter through the lens.
