That means what I see inside the window is slightly smaller than in reality (but still very large compared to other cameras). I have the standard version which is magnified by 0.72x (3 different versions exist for the M6). This may change depending on the magnification of your camera’s viewfinder. In the case of the Leica M6, it comes with a set of predefined focal lines that appear in the viewfinder window. If you’ve never used a Rangefinder before let me explain quickly how it works in 2 points. I should have understand that these cameras are meant to work within a specific focal range. The biggest mistake I did was to don’t take the time to learn enough about the Rangefinder cameras before making my purchases. I had a good sum of money from my sales and was feeling like a kid in a candy shop! I bought 5 lenses going from 21mm up to 135mm thinking that I would never need to buy glass for the rest of my life… Of course that was wrong otherwise we wouldn’t be here today! The Leica M6 I first bought the body then ordered at the same time all sort of lenses from different resellers. The obvious choice for me was to buy a Leica M6 and a full set of lenses to cover a wide focal range. When I sold all my digital equipment to make a permanent switch to analog camera I went for a Rangefinder camera. Today I want to share with you my thoughts on the Leica M and more generally the Rangefinder system.
