[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]For Sale: Leica M6 "Classic" (non-TTL, .72x finder), #2423998, black chrome, E++/M- condition, complete with strap, body cap, box, manuals. Mechanically and optically perfect, the body shows minimal wear. There are the usual crescents from the strap on the strap-protector inserts, some truly minor finish rubs (not scratches) on the baseplate and to the right of the finder eyepiece (probably from my eyeglasses). There is one pin-prick mark in the finish on the rewind crank and some slight "zinc-ing" (probably camera bag wear) on the corners next to the rewind crank. This camera was purchased in late 1998 as a backup body. Very low mileage. $1300 shipped. Leica M6 .85 (non-TTL), #2432008, E++ condition, with strap and body cap, no box. Mechanically and optically perfect, the only significant signs of wear or use are that the red paint insert is virtually gone from the lens release button and the "CE" sticker has been removed from the baseplate. This camera also has the slotted battery cover, arguably an improvement, which shows no sign of wear. If you want the standard battery cap, I can swap one in. $1925 shipped. OR Leica M6 .85 "Classic" (non-TTL), #2424148, black chrome, absolutely Mint- condition, complete with strap, body cap, box, manuals and battery. Mechanically and optically perfect, the body shows no wear. The clear plastic protector strip is still on the baseplate. This camera has run about four rolls of film. $2025 shipped. I intend to keep and use one of the .85's, so you can take your pick! I'll throw in a black Tom Abrahamsson soft release with the .85 that sells. I gladly accept PayPal. Otherwise a USPS money order or bank certified check preferred. Seven-day money-back guarantee (less actual shipping and insurance costs) if cameras are not as described. Located near Boston.
