Leica M6 + Summilux 1,4/35mm | Rangefinder camera (No reserve price)

The pairing of the Leica M6 film rangefinder camera with the Leica Summilux 35mm f/1.4 lens is one of the most iconic and highly revered combinations in 35mm photography history. It is a kit favored by photojournalists, street photographers, and enthusiasts for its unparalleled blend of precision, durability, and optical quality.

The Leica M6 is a classic 35mm film camera known for its robust, all-mechanical build, quiet operation, and incredibly precise focusing system. It is a manually operated camera designed to be an intuitive tool that removes all unnecessary distractions. The Summilux 35mm f/1.4 lens is a legendary, very fast wide-angle lens. It is prized for its ability to capture stunning photos in very low light and for the beautiful, characteristic way it renders backgrounds, often referred to as a "Leica glow" or cinematic bokeh.


Key Features:
Leica M6 Camera Body:

Mechanical Reliability: The camera is mostly mechanical and requires a battery only for the built-in light meter. The shutter will fire at all speeds (except for the meter-dependent ones) without power.

Built-in Light Meter: Unlike earlier M cameras (like the M3/M2), the M6 features a through-the-lens (TTL) light meter that provides simple, accurate exposure readings in the viewfinder.

Quiet Operation: The M6's unique cloth focal plane shutter is incredibly quiet, making it ideal for discreet photography like street or documentary work.

Superior Viewfinder: The famous rangefinder allows for highly accurate manual focusing, even in low light, and provides a clear view of the subject and the scene outside the frame.

Classic Design: It has a highly durable, all-metal body that is perfectly sized and weighted to be carried all day.


Leica Summilux 35mm f/1.4 Lens:

Extremely Fast Aperture: The wide f/1.4 aperture is excellent for low-light photography, allowing the camera to be used in dimly lit environments without flash.

Iconic Rendering: The lens is famous for its unique optical characteristics, which include incredible sharpness, but also a distinctive "look" when shot wide open—a smooth, creamy out-of-focus area (bokeh) that beautifully isolates the subject.

Versatile Focal Length: The 35mm focal length is considered a "natural" field of view, making it one of the most versatile lenses for general, street, and environmental portraiture.

Compact Size: Despite its f/1.4 aperture, the lens is very compact, maintaining the small, discreet nature of the Leica M system.

Leica M-Mount: It is a manual focus lens with a smooth, precise focusing mechanism that locks into the camera's rangefinder system.
