The Leica M6 Ein Stuck (meaning one piece in German) is a special limited edition released in 1996, with only 996 units manufactured. The term Ein Stuck refers to the unique nature of the edition, and it includes a certificate of authenticity from Leica, indicating the camera's exclusivity. The production number 000 was reserved for the museum collection, making the actual number of units produced 997.
This particular model features a special edition of the Summilux-M 35mm f1.4 ASPH lens, with a distinctive Ein Stuck engraving on the lens barrel. Unlike the standard M6, this version has a gray engraving, which gives the camera and lens a more elegant and subdued aesthetic. The body is also fitted with custom leather, embossed with the Leica logo, further highlighting its unique design.
The camera is numbered 460/996, marking it as one of the 996 units produced, and it comes with the original warranty card from Japan's Siebel Hegner, confirming it as a legitimate domestic product.
