Condition report:

The Leica M6J is a limited edition Leica M rangefinder. It was produced in 1994 to honour the 40th birthday of the Leica M system that was started in 1954 with the M3. When the system turned 40 years old in 1994 Leica was producing the M6 rangefinder camera. That’s why Leica decided to produce a special edition camera that both features M3 and M6 characteristics. The camera looks like a M3 from the front but also has the tilted M6 style rewind crank. The camera has the M6 light meter inside (2xLR44 battery) but only shows the M3 framelines inside the viewfinder. A very well made mix of 2 of the most famous Leica cameras of all time. Only a total of 1640 cameras were made. Produced and numbered in 40 cameras per year. This copy is marked 1960-18.

This M6J is in outstanding, lets call it collectors grade, condition. We bought this one from the first owner who bought it new when the kit was released new. Only a few rolls have been shot with it and therefore the camera looks like new still. The finder is perfectly clean, the lens has amazing bright and clean glass, all dails and controls feel very smooth still. The light meter is machine tested and found to be accurate on all EV values. The shutter is remarkable good for a camera that mainly sat unsued in a cabinet for most of its life. We see the speeds are perfect in tollerance from 1s up to 1/500th of a second. Only the 1/1000th has the ever so slightest unbalance between left and right hand side of the negative. If we did not tell you it would most likely never had been noticed. This can be adjusted for by a Leica technician, but since this camera is mainly a collectors piece, never opened before, and in perfect user condition anyway we decided to leave this up to the new owner to decide.

With this M6J you will receive a series of special made accessories. The main one being the amazing and luxurious wooden presentation case in which the camera sits snugly The Elmar-M lens comes with the traditional slip on metal lenscap. With the camera you will receive a custom leather case and a series of papers and documentation. The camera, lens and accessories look like new. There are 2 faint marks on the top of the wooden case but overall this is a mint looking kit ready to be placed in a high end Leica collection again.

Main specs of the Leica M6:

The Leica M6 features the same shutter speeds as many other M models: 1/1000th to 1s and bulb. The new style light meter gives a LED readout in the viewfinder. The light meter needs only 2x LR44 batteries to operate. In order to house the batteries the selftimer mechanism was removed from the body. The standard M6 houses framelines for 28-35-50-75-90-135mm lenses. Loading, advancing and rewinding film works on the quick same way was the M4 models.

Leica M6 variants:

The M6 usually comes in 2 colors and with 3 different magnification viewfinders. The 0.72 is the most common but there is also a 0.85 version for tele lenses or a 0.58 for wide angle lenses. Later on a TTL version was introduced which could meter flash light through the lens, click here to read more about the TTL model. Many special editions of the M6 have been produced over the years, with the most desired one beind the Titanium one.
