You all warned me that it would happen. Today it did. My film camera collection is now two. I bought an EX+ graded 1994 vintage black M6 with box papers origional accessories 1 year warranty new CLA with Ostrich half case LTM adapter collection of 5 rolls of film. The bottom plate has the origional plastic still on it. The thing looks knew. Very pleased with it.
All paperwork and manuals are in Italian of course.

Cannot tell the RF view, but it is best to own a 0.58 for wide shooting and a 0.85 for 50 and longer shooting. Never stop with just one M6.
P.S. You have your k's mixed up-knew and new.
I think speaking Italian all day is screwing up my English.

It does look brand new!
Base plate still has the new camera plastic on it. I can't find a mark on the camera anywhere. Didn't intend to buy one but at the price couldn't pass it up

Have fun with it! Learn to load it properly and you’ll average 38 frames on a roll.
Do not follow 99% of youtube loading videos which are wrong! Even Tamarkin posted a video that shows the incorrect way of loading the camera!
Just follow Leica's very simple and easy to follow instructions. Just pull out enough film lead to span the back into the take up spool. Drop the film in making sure the leader is in the spool. Close the back/reattach the baseplate. Then wind on! - once is enough. Second wind on and you are ready to go. Verify that there is tension on the film rewind knob and it rotates when you advance the film. It does not need to rotate fully, just show signs of motion as the film in the canister will loosen up.
There will be a little pictogram on the inside of the base plate showing what you need to do..

Congrats, Steve! As easy as digital is, there is nothing as satisfying as getting that film back. I keep telling myself I can replicate the look in presets...but even though they can be quite close, digital just isn't the same.

Good grief, get a hold of yourself man!
I know. Wait untill you see my home developing and scanning setup. As always I have gone all in on film now.
As you know I don't drink alcohol, coffee, tea, caffeine beverages, smoke, or take any sort of recreational drugs. So I always thought I was immune to addiction behaviors. But, I might need a 12 step program over this Leica Monkey on my back. Hey, there may be a Country Western song in that last statement...

Well, I for one am shocked. I did not see this coming and can hardly believe it's true. The ramifications are staggering. The ocean will boil away, mountains will crumble, puppies will learn how to meow. Staggering!
Anyway, enjoy your new camera. You know, while you can.

As a Geologist I have always believed that on a long enough timeline the survival rate for all of us falls to zero.
