          Leica M6 vs Leica M7 - User Opinions

            The Leica M6 is a tad smaller and slightly lighter than the M6 TTL and M7. This is due to the lack of electronics for auto exposure versus the M7 and TTL metering in the M6 TTL. And unless you have hands the size of Coop from Shootwithcoops, the M6 Classic is more comfortable in the hand and easier to shoot with.Nov 22, 2019
