Leica M6 "Big Logo" | Rangefinder camera

The Leica M6 is without a doubt one of the most beloved 35mm rangefinder cameras ever made. This specific specimen is an early and sought-after "Big Logo" (or Big Letter) variant of the M6 Classic. You can recognize this rarer edition by the prominent, larger "M6" engraving on the front of the housing, without the standard "Leica" engraving above. This design was produced only for a short period (around 1987/1988), which makes this camera even more attractive to collectors. The camera is equipped with the most versatile 0.72x viewfinder.

The cosmetic state of this camera is very beautiful. The lacquer and covering are in wonderful condition with only minimal signs of wear. Please carefully view the extensive photo gallery; the photos form an important and integral part of this description.

Mechanical & Optical state:
