I am looking to pick up an M6 in great condition but am completely new to the Leica / rangefinder world. Looking to get some longevity out of this investment, basically I want to be able to pick a camera up in 40 years and still have it work just as the day I got it (with proper care and maintenance of course). Just wanted to poke in and say hello.
Any suggestions, dealers?
My suggestion is this: Take a hard look at the M4-P and the M6 classic. You should be able to find a good user version (rated at around 8+) of either for around $1000 American.
Ken Hansen in New York City would be a good place to start your search. You can contacthim by email at [email]kphny19@aol.com[/email]
Which Noctilux? f/1.0 or f/0.95?
Very nice image. I wouldn't have buyer's remorse either! 😀
My traveling light bag is a tan colored Billingham Hadley Pro.
My light and fast setup is my M4-P with a Summicron 28 ASPH, Sekonic L-508 meter, a few camera doodads and six rolls of Tri-X.
Hello, all –
First post here. I photograph with film cameras 100% – I don't own even one digital camera.
For B&W, Tri-X is my film of choice although I'm thinking of giving Fuji Acros a try. I develop my own film at home and am working on getting a darkroom up and running (I already have most of the components needed).
My Leica gear is an M4-P with a 28/2 Summicron and a 50/1.4 (last pre-ASPH version).
