Subject: [Leica] R6 R 6.2 chill

The Leica R6 R6.2 mark a return to all mechanical SLRs absent from the Leica
line since the SL2 was discontinued in the late 1970's.

The R6 R6.2 are based on the Minolta XD and the R 4 4s 4sMod2/p and R5 RE
form factor. The important difference being a mechanical shutter.

The R6 and R6.2 are match diode cameras. Adjust the shutter speed and f stop
until the center diode is lit and your exposure should be accurate.

The main difference between the two models is a redesigned shutter in the
R6.2 allowing a higher shutter speed of 1/2000 vs 1/1000 in the R6.

Both feature interchangable screens.

They accept all R mount lenses but require stop down metering (metering made
at the taking f stop) with older single and double cam lenses. They cannot
make use of the information in ROM lenses.

Not sure what else he would like to know?

Dial on the front is a self timer...

Cases available.

Standard DIN Tripod screw.
