A Leica-like, fully mechanical SLR camera, the Leica R6.2, in chrome finish. Introduced in 1992. This example bears a serial number in the 2.17 million range and was made in Germany in 1995. Leica product code 10073.
An improved version of the R6, released at a time when AE and AF cameras dominated the market, it features a mechanical shutter and manual focus operation. The shutter speed was upgraded to 1/2000 sec. The design is mechanically stable and well regarded for its reliability. Even with a dead battery, only the light meter stops working—the shutter continues to operate, allowing shooting under any conditions. A true survival camera.
Its robust yet compact body is another major appeal. This particular camera is in very clean condition.
No signs of use and a very beautiful example. Literally in like-new condition.
All functions operate normally. The light meter works properly, and the viewfinder is clear and crisp.
The original cap is included.
