Leica M6 Titanium , non-TTL-mild custom. This superb classic is in excellent overall condition and looks better than stock IMHO, purposeful and understated and meant for hard use. Beautiful warm silver color despite the orange-ish tint from the red in the case. No bubbles or scrapes, has some tiny signs of use/wear. (see pics). Yye Camera did a CLA in 2017, installed new bumpers, stripped the gaudy fake ostrich imprint leather and replaced it with a Aki-Asahi cover that replicates the look of classic vulcanite. The red dot was swapped with a black one sourced from DAG. Operating correctly and ultra smooth, it's near the pinnacle of M6 aesthetics to me. It pains me to put this up for sale, but it's only had @3 rolls of film shot through it since the CLA. What little film I have shot has been medium format in a Kiev 60, pretty much the anti-Leica. Includes orig. inner and outer boxes, strap, and English + German instruction manuals.
I'm going to point out the faults. I'm trying to be nit -picky as possible- 1) has a tiny peck in the viewfinder window, visible from the front only 2) one side of hot is slightly bent with a dent, was like that when I bought it. 3) rewind knob has a faint polish line from the leather half case retaining strap rubbing on it 4) body covering isn't perfect. It feels like either the material is more thin just to the side of the preview lever or it is slightly raised right next to the lever. Just looking at it you could not tell. 5) lens mount has some of titanium color missing. A hand-made black leather Patagonian half case available separately.
US buyers only at this time, Venmo payment preferred, regular PayPal is an option if you want to pay the fees.
