Used Leica M6 Rangefinder | Chrome | U9

The Leica M6 is an iconic 35mm mechanical film rangefinder prized for its compact size, quiet cloth shutter, and timeless ergonomics. Originally produced from 1984 to 2002 and reissued in 2022, it paired the traditional battery-independent mechanics of earlier M cameras with a built-in through-the-lens light meter. Photographers focus manually by aligning a split or superimposed patch inside a bright optical viewfinder that displays automatic parallax-corrected framelines for different focal lengths. Because the batteries power only the internal LED exposure meter, the camera remains completely functional in extreme cold or if the batteries die. Its discreet profile and access to world-class Leica M-mount lenses make it a favorite for street, documentary, and travel photographers.
