Leica M6 special editions

[CharlesDAMorgan]

I have just discovered that there is an Anton Bruckner M6 special edition with genuine fake grey snakeskin. I like Bruckner, but not to the extent of dropping just under €6000 euros on one (you get an Elmar 50mm f2.8 and a Bruckner CD too).

Please, I'm not sure I want to know, but is anyone aware of a Richard Wagner edition?

You mean like “The Ride of the Leikyries”?

That Anton Bruckner edition is very very pretty.

This could go downhill rapidly...😀

It's a bit subtle for you though surely?

I was drooling about the grey skin silver-chrome Leica since I saw this on Arte di Mano web-site.
I guess one can make this happen for less than 300Eur

I like the blue leather on the chrome. But do not like the engraving of his bust on the top plate. That's just weird to me..

But, I can buy that blue leather from Aki-Asahi for $20. Find a chrome M6 (or any chrome M) for "a few" bucks more. And roll my own.

I've already done that many times, here's my M3:

And next to it, my M3DS and M-A (dark blue leather)

I wish someone would do deep chocolate. I had a Porsche Boxster once with that interior and silver grey paint and it was gorgeous.

My M5 needs new vulcanite soon.

If one or three Leica logos is not subtle enough, you could go for the Special Edition for IPO, with its embossed logo leatherette. 😀

Oh dear, that's not nice.

Just when it was finished and working well, it was sold to help fund some needed home improvements. The covering is gray Griptac that came from Cameraleather:

Now I have an M4 with a lens release button collar so all is good.

Strange duplicate posting: never mind...

Interesting; one of my M's has a dark brown leather covering, so someone must make one. The only problem is that it is very very difficult to photograph. I've looked for one that makes it obvious but with little success.

And since we're talking about M6 special editions, this Millennium whent in the same group as the M2. Went to the factory for upgrades then finised off with MP controls:
