The first time I saw this was on rec.photo.equipment.35mm where it was posted on April 1. The name of the message was "New: Leica digital M6 camera !!", You can find it in deja.com if You are interested. There is a link to a picture of this "M6D", its a chrome M6 with what looks like a badly added D after the M6 on the front. Also it has no filmadvance lever, (as expected), or shutterrelease, but it does have the film revind crank :-). So I dont think this is real. /Anders Nygren De: Ted Grant <tedgrant@home.com> >The following arrived this morning on the screen! True? False? >Whatever?
