The Leica M6 from 2022 relies on a modern version of the Leica M rangefinder with a 0.72x magnification. Furthermore, all of its optical surfaces are now coated and thus less sensitive to stray light. The light meter in the latest M6 now shows the correct exposure via a red dot in addition to the two arrow symbols originally used. Additionally, it is equipped with a battery warning indicator. The top cover has also been redesigned: while the cover of the preceding model was made of die- cast zinc, it is now milled from solid brass and enhanced with an abrasion-resistant black lacquer. The exposure meter in the M6 measures light via a brightened area on the mechanically controlled cloth shutter. Like the original from 1984, the new edition of the M6 is also adorned with the red Leitz logo.
• Packaging is modeled after the "The 1984 Packaging", but made from sustainable eco-plastic.
• User manual is also modeled after the 1984 version.
• Genuine leather carrying strap with "raised Leica lettering" in reference to the 1984 camera.
• Exposure display from the Leica MP with battery level indicator.
• New ISO dial in style of the original Leica M6, newly developed with modern electronic components inside.
• You couldn't turn off the 1984 camera - eventually the battery died. The new M6 can be switched off by turning the exposure time dial to "B" and interrupting the power supply.
