Description:

Some cameras are tools. This one is both a tool and an object you genuinely want to own. The M6 TTL is one of the most refined film cameras ever made, and the 0.85 viewfinder version is the hardest to find. The 0.85 magnification gives you a larger, brighter view through the finder than the standard 0.72, which makes manual focusing noticeably more precise, especially with fast lenses. Compared to the normal M6, the TTL version added a more ergonomic shutter speed dial and through-the-lens flash metering over the classic M6, while keeping the fully mechanical shutter that works with or without a battery.

Now this particular example is very special one. It was produced in 2000 and is still brand new, pretty much never used, and still in its original box. That is not something you come across often with a camera of this age, and it puts it in a different category entirely. Some (me included) would argue this is better than the newly produced M6 as it still has the metal back door and stronger internals. 😇
