This model was released in 1990 as a limited edition of 125 units to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Siebel Hegner, the official Leica importer in Japan. The serial number is in the 1.77 million range, and the accessory shoe on the top cover features a special serial number, such as 118/125.
The base model is the Leica M6 Panda, featuring a chrome body with black chrome details, including the film advance lever, shutter speed dial, rewind crank, frame selector lever, and self-timer lever.
It is equipped with a 0.72x viewfinder magnification and supports six bright frame lines: 28/35/50/75/90/135mm.
The Leica M6 series is known for its high level of refinement and has recently been reintroduced by Leica as a modern product.
Perfect for those who wish to own something a little different from the rest.
There are very faint scuffs near the front LEICA logo and on the bottom plate, but otherwise, there are hardly any signs of use. The exterior is in stunningly beautiful condition, with an almost brand-new appearance at first glance. This makes it an excellent choice for collectors.
The camera underwent a full overhaul (OH) in December 2024, and all operational components have been finely tuned for exceptionally smooth handling. The light meter is also functioning perfectly.
Enjoy a comfortable and satisfying shooting experience with this remarkable piece.
