- I spent a week with the legendary camera that is the Leica M6.
In this video I show you some sample photos that I managed to take as well as give you my opinion on the camera itself.
Thanks to Metty, aka 'The East London Photographer', for loaning me the camera for the week. Please show him some love and give him a follow on his instagram here - / theeastlondonphotographer

what a lovely film, great work. Im motivated now to try film with my father-in-laws camera now
Thank you!
Great video, only just found your channel but loving the content as it is giving me loads of ideas for shoots. Currently shooting both digital (Nikon / Fuji) and film (Nikon / Bronica plus an Olympus OM2n which is my 1 shot per day project camera). Thanks for the ideas I am looking forward to working my way through your videos. Good luck and stay safe.
Thanks Martin!
great video!! on the trip with leicam7 and family
Wanna have similar shooting experience (given that you like shooting with 50mm lens) ? Get yourself an Zorki 4K for next to nothing. Given that you find one that works that is...
Maybe you could tell Matty: It looks like the shutter on the M6 isn't working correctly anymore at some speeds. The last 10th of the right side of most photos is overexposed (it seems) by about 2 stops. I think the shutter isn't closing at the proper speed anymore.
ComGoBoo tbh it wasn’t something I had noticed but now you mention it I can see it on a few of the images.
The East London Photographer here! Good eye - I’ve never noticed that myself! Thank you for point it out!!
Do you mean underexposed ? A darker strip down the right hand side on a lot of the pics. I have the exact same M6 myself and you've got me going back looking through my negatives now.... :)
@@tr7daniel Since it is color film, I think it must be overexposure, since it leads to more saturation with that type of film (if it is just a small amount of overexposure). And that is what I see on the right side of some photographs. It seems the shutter is too slow on closing in the last 10 - 15% of the frame. (But I'm also just guessing here)
"and that's enough of that crap"
Made me chuckle 😂😂
😂
Wow! Love the locations you showed. Subscribed
Thanks
these are amazing do you scan and edit your images yourself?
Thanks! I usually do yes but these were scanned by my local lab.
My new favourite channel. Cheers 🍻
Nerdzombiedisco cheers! 🍻
I am halfway through this video and I have to pause it to buy some Ultramax... brb
I love Ultramax!
@@Tom-Humble Your exposures were so good every frame, even in situations with tricky lighting. Is the M6 light meter that good? Also, how were you rating the film? I have been flirting with the idea of picking up a Leica recently and a truly reliable light meter might just nudge me towards an M6, but I am currently eyeing an M4. I'll probably also pick up that 35mm Nokton as it looks like a really solid performer for the price. Any thoughts there are also welcome :-)
@@justinhensen5266 The in built light meter is pretty spot on tbh. It was a joy to use and as you see form the results was vary rarely wrong... if ever. In bright stations I usually rate Portra at 200 but the ultramax I left at 400. You can't go wring with any Leica really but there's a reason why the m6 is so legendary because it's just a really good, reliable camera. And the voigtlander 35mm is a super lens too!
@@Tom-Humble You're the best, thank you for such a quick and thorough response.
Dude - love these shots! Leica M6 is the dream! Nice work
I love photographing Dungeness, so creepy yet charming in its own unique way
It’s really beautiful down there in a weird, calming way. Makes me think of this 90’s kids show called ‘round the twist’!
Tom Humble oh my what a throwback, completely forgot about that program!
Listen to the theme tune and it all comes flooding back haha.
I've been thinking of trying my friend's M6, so thanks for the inspiration/motivation :D
No worries, you'll love it!
Hi Tom, I just found your channel and been enjoying your videos. I have been a film shooter for about two years now but not really got involved in the community yet (Covid hasn't helped). I'm near London (Herts), any recommendations for clubs, etc?
Hi Jay, thanks for the kind words. There’s not any groups I know of at the moment. Although I’m hoping to start my own as soon as things have calmed down a bit. And I’ll of course do a video about it
Thanks for the Vid😎👍! Great pics and I really like this vide! Very professional, very nice to watch!
Thanks!
Glad to see another who prefers the 35mm focal length. I shoot an M6 with a 35mm f/1.4 Zeiss lens.
I love trying out other focal lengths but always come back to 35mm. The best all rounder in my opinion.
Leica just has something special in the images that it makes 😍
I agree with you. Just word Laica would change with Tom. 😀
He's using a Voigtlander lens, isn't he?
some great shots there, lovely visual memories...and you got a new subscriber
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great images! Love the editing on the video as well!
Thanks so much!
Yeah I also have this expensive cameras that I have to own list. 😅
The struggle is real 😆
Love your photos a lottttt!! Do you edit colors after you get your scans? Love love the color tones~
Thanks! No these were basic tweaks to highlights and shadows etc. The colours are straight from the scans. This trip made me fall in love with Ultramax.
@@Tom-Humble beautiful colors and love your family photos so so much 💛👏🏼👍🏼
Magic
Were these photos edited or just straight out print
They were straight from the lab
@@Tom-Humble beautiful shots!
You are a great photographer :)
Joel_ Barcelon thanks so much!
Great pics Tom
Thank you!
