My girlfriend overheard Jason talking and she goes'
-Is that the guy with the dog?
-yep...that's the one

Thank you for boosting M6 prices. I bought mine nearly a decade ago when digital was king and film cameras were old hat.

I've been watching this channel since when Jason used to joke about being sponsored by Squarespace.

I had an M6 for almost a year before selling it 2 months ago. It's a great camera but way overhyped and overpriced. I like shooting with different cameras so I couldn't justify owning a $2000 that I only used like once a month. I even like using my FM2n more.

That Holga 120 killed me. If you think M6 bodies were expensive, wait what's gonna happen now after this video.

I feel like when i got an m6 my photos got better, but after thinking about it I was for sure excited to use it, and loved using it as it feels so good to use so defintely did what you said... " wanted to get out and shoot more, forces you to practice and become a better photographer" so thats super true. Shame that cost 3k hahaha

[DadBodBass]

I own a Leica R3 and I also love it! It's not on a hype train yet which makes it pretty affordable and you still get all the good Leica glass :)

[jsshayes]

The reason to shoot a Leica M6 is to shoot Leica lenses (as many people say). I personally prefer the M2, M3, and M4. The M2 being my main camera for last 6 years and hasn't skipped a beat. But if you need a meter M6 is the way to go or a Konica Hexar RF, which I have and love.

Shoutout to Caleb with that magnificent X-700!

[chases]

I just got my first film camera, and my film comes in later today. Im so happy i found you channel. I absolutely love your humor; your dry humor is right up my alley.

Not sure why anyone would use an M6 with out a Leica lens, but more power to ya. You are correct in the fact that it will not make you a better photographer. Back in the old days (early 90's), I shot a Pentax ME Super with a Ricoh 50mm f1.8 lens that my professor swore was a Leica lens. Maybe I should try to find that combo again?

This video showcases the incredible power of documentation with a camera, especially when captured before the devastating fires in Pacific Palisades. If you reside in the area, I genuinely hope you are safe during these challenging times.

As someone who started shooting before there were viable digital cameras, hell my second camera was a Nikon F3 (in many ways a better tool for general photography than any leica) the thing that makes Leica M cameras more than their lenses is that at the time it was the smallest fully manual 35mm camera and it was very quiet compared to a SLR, so if you were shooting in the streets and wanted to go unnoticed that was and still is only choice, it was discreet. The rest of it was splitting hairs. Today if you want to be discreet and are shooting digital in the street than the best choice is probably a Ricoh GR, a camera that is small and no one will take you seriously if you point it in their direction. That’s it, it is a quality too it’s nice to shoot with but those two features are what kept that camera in production long after Leica should have killed it in favor of the R system.

I purchased my M6 around 2010 in mint condition for 1000 Euro. Back then film was not so popular as today and analog camera not so expansive. Lucky me i also bought: Ricoh GR 1s, Rollei 35 afm, rollei qz 35 t, Leica C3, Leica Minilux, Olympus XA, Leica M4, Leica M4-P - all cameras way cheaper than today.
