Leica M6 - Write Your Story
The more experience we gain, the better we become at knowing our brand’s personality, goals, and strengths. This applies just as much to a single camera’s life cycle as it does for an entire product family — especially one as legendary as the Leica M. Still, after almost 70 years, the Leica M-System preserves its ability to adapt to our times without compromising its core values. Like no other Leica M camera, the analog Leica M6 is a tool that keeps evoking admiration from photographers around the world.

In this latest Leica Portrait video, Joel shares the story of his transition from junior art director to legendary photographer.
