Who has a Leica M6 TTL Millenium

I found this one on flickr, but cannot make up for sure which number it has

Yup that's mine. I bought it from Andrea at Photo Prisma in Bologna (excellent shop, great guy) who worried that there was a tiny tiny bit of paint loss on the lugs because the previous owner had - the horror! - attached a strap once. I told him not to worry because I intend to use it. I have just run 30 rolls through it during a vacation and it brasses niiiicely .)
 
Hi,
I still have mine (#1016 - btw @OP : feel free to add it to the list) and have just had its viewfinder upgraded to the 'MP-like' flareless type. Lifechanging, I love it even more than before. Has a black dot also.

Hi Tomele, and welcome, your camera has just been added to the list.
btw can you post a picture of the upgraded camera...:)
 
Please sign me up with no. 1429. The original outer box has a red sticker that says "5 años de garantía", which I assume indicates an official Leica dealer in Spain (or Latin America - e.g. Argentina?) back in 2000, but I bought it from someone in Germany. Zero brassing on this one, base plate sticker still on. Everything suggests a camera that previously sat languishing in its box. The paint finish is perfect except for the fact that the two small red dots on the rewind knob show, should we say, a certain artisanal quality (the paint overlaps *ever* so slightly with the surrounding black, so - by a tiny amount - imperfect dots): were it not a charming sign of Leica's hand-applied makeup, an obsessive-compulsive might even be tempted to liken it to sloppy lipstick. Even so by all objective standards it must be rated as beautiful a camera as any that Leica has produced in its long history, and a nice number - 1429 was an important year in French annals, thanks to a visionary woman. Anyway, this camera will finally emerge into the light and fulfill its purpose: a lifetime of picture-taking and noble brassing.

Thanks and welcome. Yours is enlisted now. Can you show a pic of the cam with its serial?
 
Nice one Al! Looks like an identical setup to what I have, except for the difference in 48 numbers.
