Having been gifted with an M6 as part of the European Publishers Award in 2001, its shiny black surface prevented me from using it until I went to Japan to engage with the European Eyes on Japan Project in 2004. And so began this wandering until it jumped over my head one windy day in 2011. As with all Leicas it bounced intact but the base was dented in such a way as to seal that last roll of film within. It awaits liberation.
