The camera purchase | Leica M6 using the example
A Leica M6 is up to 37 years old today. And mostly unused in drawers in the last few decades. In the worst case, the battery was forgotten in the battery compartment, and the battery acid sometimes leaked.
Today, many of the classic Leica M6s are still in an exceptionally beautiful external condition for up to 4 decades after they were purchased. p>
With many cameras, the shutter speeds are no longer correct, the timing does not run smoothly, often incompletely, the shutter is resinified. This can be clearly seen from the reference second and the long shutter speeds, and the short times through measurement. But no problem - this is common and expected according to age and can be remedied through maintenance and camera repair.
Basically, a Leica M6 is a popular camera on the used market. The increasing price development in recent years shows the interest in these classic Leica cameras. If you would like to offer a Leica M6, we look forward to your offer.
This applies in particular to the early serial numbers up to 1988, which were produced in Wetzlar (later in Solms) and the numerous special series ("Special Edition "). No Leica camera has been produced in so many special editions and special models as dealer editions and anniversary models as the Leica M6.

The battery compartment must be clean. Batteries in a Leica M6 that have been forgotten and leaked over the decades and whose battery acid has contaminated or even oxidized the contacts are only noticeable in a few decades. Most of the time the traces are only superficial, in the worst case the oxidation of the battery contacts will continue into the camera housing.
