This limited-production model was designed to honor Leica’s rich heritage while maintaining the function and usability of a classic M6 rangefinder.

Like most cameras of its age, this camera shows signs of regular use, but it’s been treated with respect and hasn’t been abused. It was recently serviced by DAG Camera and is performing smoothly and reliably.
