Not so long ago I was loaned a Leica IIIC, wartime edition. I liked it so much, I ended up with one of my own; so the house was hosting two Leicas.
Then yesterday a visitor arrived and offered me yet another Leica, two lenses and a handful of films, with clear instructions that I should spend the next week enjoying it.
So now I have three Leicas to play with!
The M6 offers a clearer viewfinder/rangefinder and exposure metering, in a body which is surprisingly lighter than the IIIC little tank. I look forward to playing with it over the next few days, as well as finishing a film in the wartime Leica; then will hand them both back with some relief. It’s rather stressful being trusted with other people’s treasures.
