Hey guys, I'd like to buy my first Leica but I'm not really a specialist yet :)

I found an auction for an M6 TTL 0,72 on eBay in Germany, which starts at 890 eur. This seems lower than most other similar models I found on eBay.. Do you think it's really a bargain or just a decent price?

    Try for the M7 if you can, much better camera, the 6 is also a very good camera, i have the M8.2, Leica s are sweet boxes, once you get training your self to use them

    I own an M6 TTL .72x and I paid about $1,300 USD for it, so I would say it's a decent price. I could see why you'd wait for an M7 if you need aperture priority, but the M6 TTL is a mechanical camera that can operate without a battery and has a mechanical (beautiful) shutter. When I bought an M9, I missed the austerity of the M6. I think all-manual yields better, more consistent photos, at least in my case.

    GET ONE.
