    It's an honour to be a small part of the M6 legacy - thank you so much for inviting me to share my story here. My grandfather had a Leica IIIc (which I now have), and the M3 played a big role in my discovery of the joy of photography (and film) at a time when most of the world had given up on analogue. Returning to Wetzlar for the launch of the new M6 was a privilege and an experience I'll never forget - thank you for continuing to support the resurgence of film

      Love it, Dan. My M6 is the same age I am and I’ll probably never be able to part with it just from that fact alone.

    I have in my possession , an M2, M3 and an M6. All bought years ago. All I could tell You is that there is magic to a Leica.

      Magic indeed. My IIIc, M3, and M6 are all gorgeous machines in their own right, and there is an element of pixie dust in how every dial and button feels.

    Gear question, what was the kind of flip filter on the lens?

      It Leica’s Polarising adapter for M-mount 🔥

      @@danrubin thanks a lot Dan, the way it works reminds me of old lenses used by optometrists to test the sight or those old fashioned flipping on top sunglasses. Is it as practical as modern CPL and filters ? Asking because it seems like a big contraption for what it is.
      Exquisite portfolio by the way.

    • @danrubin

      @@REMY.C. It’s big for a specific reason: a CPL has the same effect on incoming light at 180° angles of rotation, so the design of this adapter specifically allows the filter to be moved in front of the viewfinder window so you can see and adjust the polarising effect while focusing / framing, then flip the filter in front of the lens when capturing, and know that the degree of polarisation is identical (as the movement is perfectly 180°). Clever design, and while a bit ungainly, it’s easier than the alternative (removing the polariser, holding it in front of the viewfinder or your eye, finding the correct rotation for the filter effect you want, marking the lens so you know what position the rotated filter is in, then re-mounting it to the lens).

      @@danrubin Oh that's absolutely clever! I didn't think about the offset viewfinder.
      Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain.
      Now I want to know more about it. I'll watch videos to see it in action.
      Thanks again.
