The Leica M6 
  • The image of the motif in the viewfinder is almost 20% larger than in the standard LEICA M6 TTL and is almost equivalent to the natural impression.
  • In particular when using the longer focal lengths of 75, 90 and 135 mm, this allows easier and even more accurate framing.
  • The accordingly larger distance measuring field facilitates fast and precise focusing, especially under poor light conditions or low motif contrast.
  • Focusing accuracy is also increased due to the greater effective rangefinder base - this being particularly important when using lenses with long focal lengths and large apertures.
