The Leica M-A is a timeless no nonsense 35mm film camera that highlights German engineering and superb build qualityRead more
When I first experienced the Leica M-A I felt a little underwhelmed. Since then I've realised there is more to the M-A than might initially meet the eye.Read more
The Leica M-A (Typ 127) is a camera from another time—a purely mechanical 35mm rangefinder. It's expensive, but perfectly engineered.Read more

Yet another Leica M6 review, so I will try to keep it brief in the overstated aspects of the camera and more so discuss my experiences with it so far and how it has helped me grow as a photographer... so bear with me. When it came to deciding to purchase a Leica M film body I really had no reason for doing so. I had my Contax 139Q was really happy with it. With the affordable Zeiss lenses, it was a great camera that packed a punch. There was no reason for me to change anything up, but I did anyways.Read more
Surprisingly painless to use, but not so painless to buy. The Leica M6 is an iconic camera in the M Line of rangefinders by Leica. A photographer's camera, that despite appearances is easy to get to know, despite never having shot with an M-Series rangefinder in the past. But strangely enough, not a camera I'd want to own.
