Connection note

Harvey used Leica rangefinders throughout his career as a National Geographic and Magnum photographer; the M6 is documented in his published interviews and on the Burn photography platform he founded.

Product description

The M6, produced from 1984 to 1998, was the first M-series Leica to include a through-the-lens exposure meter. It retained the mechanical shutter and M bayonet mount of earlier cameras, maintaining full compatibility with decades of Leica M lenses.
