Does Leica M6 have 28mm Framelines?
This focal is too wide to fit inside the viewfinder window (the M6 covers up to 28mm) and there are no corresponding frame lines so I have to rely on this very expensive external viewfinder that fits into the hot shoe mount.
Does Leica M6 work without battery?
No battery needed. The Leica M6 Classic does not need a battery to shoot at any shutter speed. Unlike the M7, which can only fire at 1/125th and 1/60th without a battery.

How does a Leica rangefinder work?
With a rangefinder camera, you never look through the lens. You focus and compose through a window on the top right, just like on a disposable camera. The rangefinder looks out of the little window on the left. It triangulates as you turn the focus ring, bringing two images into correlation at perfect focus.
