Leica M6
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.

“Klein used Leica rangefinders for his street photography, extending the camera to extreme wide angles — 21mm and 28mm lenses used closer than their natural distance — that produced the distorted, confrontational images in his New York, Rome, Tokyo, and Moscow books. His Leica use is documented in "William Klein: ABC" (2003) and in interviews given to the International Center of Photography.”
