Another Leica M6 sent in!
As in sent in all the way from, Natchitoches, Louisiana USA!

MCS’s new friend Sonny says:
My new to me 1986 Wetzlar Leica M6. When I got it, it had a recent cla, by Sherry Krauter who added a M2 wind lever, made the viewfinder show only the 28, 35, 50, 90mm framelines. The body has Griptac skin.
The lens is a Summicron C 40mm milled to show 35mm frame lines (DAG). I added the aftermarket hood from a Hong Kong dealer and painted it with wrinkle finish. The thread is slightly different, but I just screw it in enough to be secure.
I had an M6 for many years, but sold it to go digital a few years ago. I shoot mainly with an M8, and an Olympus EP-1, but sometimes I want to see all of what my lenses show, so I decided to buy this nice M6.
I enjoy Manilacamerastyle, keep it up!
Thanks, Sonny. MCS enjoys receiving contributions from all over the world! Sonny adds:
Here are four samples from the M6 camera. I’ve included a couple of shots from my old 21mm Super Angulon, because it was one of the reasons I bought the M6, since my M8 of course doesn’t show the whole frame.
We now have one mini lab left in our town, and they don’t take great care with the films, (some of my negatives have scratches) not to mention that their CD scans are very low resolution. So I suppose I’m going to have to start mailing film away for processing, or maybeprocess them myself.
I have my reels and tanks and a changing bag, so that may be the route I take. I think I may even have my old darkroom timer!
