Leica M6 chrome, panda version. Serial number in the 1.79 million range, manufactured in 1991. Leica product code 10414. Finder magnification is 0.72.

Based on the chrome M6 Classic, this model features black parts on the advance lever, shutter speed dial, and rewind crank, giving it its distinctive panda appearance.

A film speed dial is located on the back door, and exposure is indicated by red LEDs in the viewfinder. The Leica M6, with its built-in light meter, has seen a strong resurgence in popularity in recent years alongside the revival of film photography, thanks to its ease of use and reliability. The recent reissue has also drawn renewed attention.

The M6 panda has a dedicated following, and fine examples have become increasingly scarce in recent years.

There are minor signs of wear and light scuffing on the strap lugs and film advance lever, but otherwise it shows almost no signs of use and remains a very clean example. An excellent overall condition.

Fully overhauled in April 2026. All operations have been finely adjusted and feel smooth throughout. The viewfinder is bright and very clear, and the light meter is responsive and accurate. Refreshed by this overhaul, it is ready to be used extensively and enjoyed to the fullest.
