First week with M6

[vha]

First week with M6 is just over, and I´m happy with it, more good photos to come, I´ll hope so, of course it would be quite possible to make some shots that doesn't look like anything at all, but that wasn´t why I´ll bought it.

Loading of the film went easy, so i was suspicious in the beginning, but it moved.
Since i have a shade on all the time i didn´t get any lens-cap photo, Yet.
I wear glasses , after some frames i got used to control the whole frame.
Might be that i´ll get a external viewfinder, because the frame for 28mm is slightly out of sight if i want to se all of it at once . . Used to external finder when i use the 21mm on the Contax, so that wouldn't be any problem.

And yes it its more quiet than my G2, but they do the same, but in a different way.
Think the 28mm Biogon is sharper, but the Elmarit M has better defocus or was it sofa ?

So I'm happy. Works fine with the Kodak BW 400CN.

And if someone have a good tip how to get the film-cartridge out easy after rewinding I'm happy for any good tip, because its a bit too tricky.

vha.

And the images is placed in my gallery.

Glad to hear you're happy vha! 🙂 Wind the film all the way into the canister, then when you open the back just grip the center spindle of the canister and pull it out. 🙂

On my M6 classic, the film cannister will drop out by gravity when you invert the camera with the bottom off, if the film is completely rewound into it.

Been trying that, and after 5 minutes of bad language it works, always ends with that i take a key and put in the spindle. . . . is serious considering to start wearing my leatherman wave again 😉

else i realized i could have posted the link here :

And of course the classical shot in the mirror, even flipped in Phototoshop.

vha 🙂

Hmm, shouldn't be stiff methinks. On an M7, yes the canister is a bit tight because of the DX reader but it should be a bit loose on an M6 or TTL. I have film in my M6TTL at the moment but I'm fairly sure that if I turned it over like phototone it would drop out.

This is my experience too. I may add a little shake or two but it pops right out.
