I have a silver M5. For that model, I like the silver over the black. I have a black M11. I like the black over the silver in this model. For the M6, I do like the black better. Nice videos. Glad I found your channel.
enjoyed the video, it was like watching a visual representation of the thought process I go through when I can't make a decision when buying something. The colour doesn't really matter but it does at the same time!
@@latitude35mm just a photographers love of their cameras! Both amazing as are in theory the same but still fun to chat about. Thanks for taking the time to comment. J
Tough call… black is more discrete and looks nice when worn. Silver looks striking and will still look new years down the road. Like you, I’m torn about which one I’d buy. Choices choices…
@@jamie.dop_ I also just discovered your channel. Perfect combo for me, travel and M6 :-). Yes, I also try to add some content on UA-cam about Leica and photography in general
@@elliotresnick5433 that’s a great question and probably a far better video idea! Not quite sure how much I’d pay… maybe an extra couple of hundred. I’d like to see others responses too!
I got the silver TTL, it's classic. But I was looking for a black one usually. There is no bad choices. The black one will be more discreet. Leica said there is not going to be another silver M6, which is going to increased the price of the silver maybe. I also have the M9 in silver, which is my favorite.
Very good point. We say see that creep up over the next few years. As long as those film prices don’t keep rising. It’s on the edge now of not being able to play the game as we are all being priced out of it! Thanks as well for dropping a comment. Means a lot. J
@@jamie.dop_ that’s is the question if new will be for life, but if I sell one of my mirrorless camera. Yeah I will look at red dot, I’m living in UAE probably they will charge me tax 🙄
Hmmmm it’s very situational. You have to manage the EV to + or - a stop or two depending how close to subject and inside or outside. Generally it’s great though
@@jamie.dop_ The first M10 I purchased was black and defective. Leica gave me a full refund. Later I purchased a silver M10. However, it too was defective. Black or silver made no difference to me. All I really wanted was a camera that was dependable and free of defects.
Honestly? I prefer both, which is why I have a black M6 and a silver MP. If I had to stick with one... perhaps I would choose the silver finish because it feels more classic to me and accentuates the camera's lines. A Leica M6 is beautiful in any of its combinations.
To be honest, although I already owned a silver M6, I found a very good deal on a black M6 and bought that too with the intension to sell my silver M6. Now I have both of them infront of me, I can't decide and have the stupid idea to keep both ... :D (luckily I paid for both about the price of 1,5x M6 used, so it was a good deal :D) Are both these M6 also yours or did you borrow one for the purpose of this video?
@@kiwipics what!!! That’s insane. Never heard less than £1.6 or a free pass down from a father or uncle kinda thing. Good on you. No wrong choice. Both stunning camera. J
A dumb fact I'll share, Jason's camera is heavier because he has an m6 titanium which has a brass top plate instead of zinc alloy like silver and black M6's
What is the Titan? Sorry if you feel I missed something out. Let me know and I can try make a different video in the future. Either way I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment good or bad :)

Oh nice! What’s the M5 like? I was tempted to sell my SL2 and get the M11 as it is the dream camera!! Do you love the images it produces?

Agree with all of that! Think I’m leaning ever so slightly to the black one. May end up going back and forth for years to come!
Hey, I appreciate the mention! (although I don't actually own or use an M6 😅 I just borrowed that one for my video)
@@pushingfilm just saw you use one and assumed it was yours. Yeah, you got some great videos. Keep it up! J
@@jamie.dop_ Thanks man! Looking forward to seeing more on your channel
I just got a good deal on a silver one. Love it. Now I need to get on that featured UA-cam list of yours 😇
Haha yes I woulda added you! I am following more and more every day! Glad you got yourself one. You making YT videos?
@@jamie.dop_ I also just discovered your channel. Perfect combo for me, travel and M6 :-). Yes, I also try to add some content on UA-cam about Leica and photography in general
@@berndvandecruys what’s your channel name?
What about classic vs TTL? How much more would you pay for a TTL if all other factors were the same?
@@elliotresnick5433 that’s a great question and probably a far better video idea! Not quite sure how much I’d pay… maybe an extra couple of hundred. I’d like to see others responses too!
M11-P in silver & M6 all black with B&W film - easy to know what I'm grabbing for the day!
That M11-P is just such a beautiful camera. And don’t see many in silver! What B&W film you throwing in the M6 then?
@@jamie.dop_ Kodak Tri-X and HP5 too, sometimes Portra400; I think film looks best in B&W

*are no bad choices
Black all the way
I agree Josh. Wasn’t an immediate decision but eventually lent towards the black one. Thanks for commenting :)
Another awesome video, great compositions !! I’m looking to buy my first M and film .
Amazing! What you thinking? New/used? Have you tried Red Dot Cameras?
@@jamie.dop_ that’s is the question if new will be for life, but if I sell one of my mirrorless camera. Yeah I will look at red dot, I’m living in UAE probably they will charge me tax 🙄
@@Alexframesrj yeah probably likely. However, call them and they will offer advice and answer any questions! Best of luck with it :)
Jamie how accurate is the ttl with flash?
Hmmmm it’s very situational. You have to manage the EV to + or - a stop or two depending how close to subject and inside or outside. Generally it’s great though
I use the titanium M6. When I bought Leica digital, I bought a black and a silver M10.
Great choice!! Why both M10? Couldn’t decide or just loved the camera and needed two bodies rocking different focal lengths?

Perfectly put!
Silver MP is so underrated. It shows mechanical beauty that nothing else can compare
I prefer silver one. Thank you. 🙂
@@helgiles another vote on the silver box! It’s quite close this decision! Thanks for taking the time. J

Lucky you! Yeah I had two for around a month! Those were the days!!!
@Jamie & The Jam ... I have an M6 Titanium, but would prefer s black body .. I can't complain though, as mine only cost £20 ..... Yes, £20.

Love my BLACK M6, BEST camera i have ever shot, and i have shot PLENTY!
silver!
A dumb fact I'll share, Jason's camera is heavier because he has an m6 titanium which has a brass top plate instead of zinc alloy like silver and black M6's
Great info. I did not know that! Had to weigh it myself to be sure! Thanks for taking the time to comment Andrew :)
Yes he has a M6 Titan TTL. I believe all titanium TTL has brass top plate. I don't know how much he paid for that but titan TTL is so so rare nowadays
Ok, gang, what would you pair with a safari 28 mm: black or silver body?!?! Go!
And both TTL versions…. Damn!

no matt day? how you not gonna mention the UA-cam leica godfather
Big fan of his channel and knowledge. He would have been a good one for the list. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. J
All good kinda just poking fun at it!
"... One of the most popular Leica users of our generation, Joe Greer".... Bruh, you gotta be fucking kidding me.
You're equating popular UA-camrs with Master Photographers from the past??? Joe Greer??? Wow, talk about downgrading celebrity status🙄!
