Hello all, just sharing this for a chuckle + advice at the end. I have a Leica M6 2022 and I saw a page on the Leica website that promoted customisation of your Leica camera by swapping out the leatherette with real leather and different colours: https://leica-camera.com/en-int/service-support/services/leica-individualisation I know this is a bit vain and completely unnecessary but I'm a sucker for these kind of things so popped by my local Leica store and asked whether this service was possible for the M6, because everything online pointed to the fact that this was only available for digital ..read more

Hi, looking for a little advice in the lens department. I have an M6 and have owned both the Voightlander Ultron and Color Skopar 28mm's. Both have given me results that look too clinical and modern, in my opinion. If I sell a few lenses I can afford an Elmarit 28mm V2, V3, or possibly V4 (Cron is too expensive). I'm new to Leica lenses so the nuances between versions are blurry to me. Given my options, do you think an Elmarit would give more character than the Voight offerings? If so, what version Elmarit would you go for? Cheers for the help! submitted by /u/dy74n [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Purchased a N.O.S leica TL at an easy price to replace my old Leica D-Lux Typ 109 as my main travel camera, at the same time I purchased a Sigma 18-50/2.8 to go with it and I already have a Visoflex for EVF. Can the manual focus aid, besides 3x/6x magnification, show focus peaking? submitted by /u/Mexhillbilly [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello ? Just bought a beautiful condition 35mm Summilux pre asph off of ebay. Mady in Germany, serial number 36xxx, so it‘s one of the last ones built. Seller stated everything‘s in perfect condition. At first sight that was the case but upon further inspection I spotted a shitload of what appears to be cleaning marks on the inside of the lens. One of the inner lens elements is affected as far as I can tell. You can barely see it in daylight but as soon as you hit it with a flash light, boom. Asked the seller about it, he said he checked everything, all seemed fine. He‘s cool about it, sa ..read more
