The legendary Leica M6 from 1984 returns in 2022 after being discontinued in 2002 with updated features in response to the resurgence of film. Leica Camera embraces the resurgence of film and has revived the M6 film digital rangefinder camera. Leica claims that the new M6 2022 is a mix of old and new.
The new M6 for 2022 features a modern
rangefinder with 0.72x magnification, new light meter, and new battery warning
indicator. The new light meter now displays the correct exposure via a red dot
in addition to the two arrow symbols that were initially used in prior runs of
the camera. All optical surfaces are
coated with new coatings that make them less sensitive to stray light. Leica has redesigned the top cover which is
made from milled solid brass and is finished with abrasion-resistant black
lacquer. In contrast with the original M6 being made of die-cast zinc.
Leica M6 2022 priced at USD 5,295. The new
M6 will be available for purchase in the United States on November 3, 2022,
from Leica Stores, Leica Boutiques and Leica Online store.
