On October 20, 2022, Leica launched an updated version of the legendary Leica M6 from 1984. The new M6 is based on the more modern version of the Leica M rangefinder but remains completely true to its roots. All of its iconic characteristics have been preserved!

The Leica M6 at a Glance

Since 1986, the Leica M6 has been used to capture countless iconic photographs. The camera remained in production for 18 years and still offers exceptional value and usability today.

As a counterbalance to the overwhelming stream of digital images, the popularity of intentional analogue photography is once again on the rise. That is why Leica has reintroduced this legendary camera, complete with several improvements over its predecessor.

The Leica M6 is a camera that brings you back to the essence of photography.
