The Leica M6 Story
The more experience we gain, the better we become at knowing
our brand’s personality, goals, and strengths.
This applies just as much to a single camera’s life cycle as it does for an
entire product family — especially one as legendary as the Leica M. Still,
after almost 70 years, the Leica M-System preserves its ability to adapt
to our times without compromising its core values.
Like no other Leica M camera, the analog Leica M6 is a tool that keeps
evoking admiration from photographers around the world. Not only did
its production mark a milestone in Leica Camera AG's corporate history,
but it went on to be modeled in many different versions between 1984
to 2002. Today, the Leica M6 continues to captivate new generations of
passionate photographers.
Intuitive, compact, discreet: the M6 gets you closer. Close to the action
and genuine emotion. For pictures that are impactful and personal. No
wonder photojournalists have used this camera to capture unique
images since the 1980s. And as the preferred tool for the world’s best
photographers, the Leica M6 is behind countless iconic images
immersing the observer in contemporary history.
The conscious rejection of the “would be possible” in favor of the “what
is necessary” —that turns a passive photographer into a proactive agent
— is a philosophy that resides within the Leica M6. It symbolizes
quintessential photography. Demanding that its owner make conscious
decisions regarding the subject in front of them, using their own creative
process to not only take pictures but make images bursting with a unique
ethos.
In a world that is moving faster than ever, analog photography is
experiencing a renaissance. Today’s owners crave products synonymous
with enduring value. Products that force them to slow down, break the
cycle of endless consumption and embrace traditional values such as
reliability, trust and quality. Quality that can be seen and touched.
Enabled by premium materials and rock-solid mechanics. Products that
have a soul. The Leica M6 is the physical embodiment of all this.
Who, if not Leica, could better understand this desire for real, pure
photography and the creative journey that comes with it? It’s therefore
natural that what’s probably the most popular legendary camera ever
should come back.
