It was $100 more than the black one, becaues it was a panda version. That's chrome with black rewind and advance knobs and shutter speed dial. They were only in production for about three months. Plus I got a real collector's ser. # - 177277, not that I care since I'm a professional user. The 35 Summicron was $850, but it was mint, very nice. You can find Ex+ for less. They are hard to come by, especially since the price increase last spring. Leica has never he problems selling all of their new M6s, so the used stuff is in big demand, and it seems the demand is growing, so grab one fast. The other Leica dealer I trust is Chattern. Also in Shutterbug. Del's in Santa Barbara is a bit pricey at times, but they some times have a Leica piece or two that might be a good deal. At least they're honest, if not cheap.
