Left LED lit and centre LED lit – 1/2 ev under Both MP and M-A are essentially derivatives of M6/TTL with incremental improvements. I was attracted to the Leica but I a bit hesitant to purchase RF film because I was told from a lot of other film photographers that RF could be tough to use in terms of focusing. The same can even be said of my M3. The first is that the differences between them all are fairly minor. Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization.

My answer is “It’s a Leica MP!”. Unfortunately neither Leica M10 nor Canon EOS M6 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. Leica M10 was introduced to market in January 2017 and Canon M6 was launched in February 2017.

It’s not the look I’m having a go at here, it’s the garbage that Leica attribute to it that bothers me. But then I realized that I could buy a new one. I’d go as far as to argue that meter displays in later M (film) models or digital innards run counter to what a Leica really is. But unlike all those cameras, the MP shutter speed dial has the same rotational direction as the older M6 and the cameras that came before it. To purposely imbue a camera with features that have been superseded by common sense is beyond comprehension. I think that the MP is a very nice camera (btw as if now it is available also in black chrome) but I do not like the vf LEDs. If you’re looking for a mechanical film camera, Leica MP and Leica M6 are the best options. The M3, M2, & M4 (and it’s variants of -2 & -P) stay true to this quote by Ms. Freund. As seen above, Leica M10 has a 2.6x Larger sensor area than Canon M6. Having shot an M7 for a while, and then a string of digital Leicas, it’s almost muscle memory now, so almost every time I’ve used the MP the meter has confused me. To be honest, I don’t personally see the black paint as the attractive finish most seem to. On a semi-related note, what do you think of that Canon lens? Find out more about 35mmc here. Discussion in 'Leica and Rangefinders' started by gus_lazzari, Mar 5, 2011. Yes they make very long lasting and durable cameras, but it’s not quite enough to sell a camera that lasts a long time through quality of build. Truth be told, I own an MP. The above cameras are much cheaper than their regular brethren M2, M4, M4-2 & P. I paid £225 for my first MDa and £200 for the second. Find out how here. Our M4-Ps have the small dial too, but with a notch to mesh with the Leica meter. To call them “gritty” might be too on-point, but there it is. I was pleased by what followed in this excellent view of the MP from your personal perspective. Instead, they will likely find an exceptionally well built Leica camera with a simplistic but useful built in light meter. Let's read on the following sections in order to better understand in detail how Leica M10 and Canon M6 compares and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.


The MP6 is a limited production run MP.

Precious owner of the Leica M6 opened the box, but he didn’t even try to use it. The more you stop down the lens, the more depth you get. And then of course there’s the fact that what’s a technological step forward, and what’s a step back is arguably subjective – a fact that I often tout on this website. All photographs and text appearing on 35mmc.com are the exclusive property of the named author (except where stated otherwise) and are protected by copyright. Nice camera, but the mystique is ridiculous (just think of the Leica M-P correspondent’s edition). As I describe in my M6 review, the way the light meter works seems counter intuitive. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Mirrorless Cameras with Weather Sealing. . Other cameras can have all of that, they can boast great lenses & CMOS sensors. Plus, due to RF system’s limitations, the shortest focus range is 70cm while that of SLR system would be typically 20cm or so. Leica playing on all this personal image nonsense sullies the camera behind it all and plays into the hands of those who wish to diminish those of us who do find them to be the ideal cameras for our shooting needs.eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'35mmc_com-medrectangle-4','ezslot_13',181,'0','0'])); But anyway, as I say, if you like the look of a brassed camera that’s fine by me. For such an expensive thing touted by Leica as the ultimate summation of their craft to have a plastic dial on the back is just horrible. Canon M6 has external dimensions of 112 x 68 x 45 mm (4.41 x 2.68 x 1.77″) and weighs 390 g (0.86 lb / 13.76 oz) (including batteries). In that case, the question becomes why not get an M2/3/4 instead. With this NAVER blog, I talk about various Leica gear, digital and film photography. I think that the Leica M6 is the best M-series analogue rangefinder camera that Leica ever made!

The point about tools is they need to be used, rather than looked at. May I ask you which film and developer did you use! When all is said and done my K1K is a more flexible tool. If this isn’t the case, at best, they are playing on the idea that people like to show off their expensive things. Let's have a brief look at the main features of Leica M10 and Canon M6 before getting into our more detailed comparison. Nice review Hamish, I had for one day, a black paint M6TTL, when I got it home I realised that I didn’t like the glossy black paint that you describe so well. The Leica MP retains the later quick-load pronged take-up spool that was introduced in the M4. I use it with a 21mm F3.4 Super Angulon and 21mm finder. Fair enough I say – if you like that sort of thing who am I to argue?

At the risk of stirring up a hornet’s nest, I’d stipulate that mechanical perfection would have to include a shift lens (thus a Leica R) and a polarizing filter (thus a Leica R). Both like new. The MD was used for years at cricket matches with a Visoflex 11 reflex housing and 280mm f4.8 Telyt lens. Such a setup would allow zone focusing, which is easier with wide lenses where basically everything is in focus. One of the things Pentax’s marketing department highlighted as part of the ‘professional’ pedigree of the LX was that the brass was black chrome plated before being enamelled, so that when the paint wore off there’d be no flash of shiny brass beneath (at least, in my experience, not for a very long time). In this section, We are going to illustrate Leica M10 and Canon M6 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. What’s on the surface is one thing, but actually the Leica MP doesn’t amount to my ideal Leica under the skin either.

Your camera will have plenty of natural “character” quite in keeping with its age. This is a story about why I purchased Leica MP as my film camera choice.
