[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have For Sale a lovely Chrome Leica M6TTL 0.85 #249xxx with matching chrome pre-ASPH 35mm Summicron-M #35xxx. Both are nearly like new, in their boxes with caps, hood, instructions, etc, except that the M6TTL body has a 1/4" abrasion on its top edge inflicted by a minor bump with the lens barrel on another camera. This defect hardly detracts from the beauty of this camera and lens. I like the black Leica bodies because of their 'stealth' quality. However, in my opinion, this chrome M6TTL 0.85 is far more handsome than the black version. The chrome 35mm Summicron has a much higher look and feel of quality than the black version, too. Relative to the black lens, I understand the chrome 35mm pre-ASPH Summicron is rare. Although I've never owned one, I can't imagine that the abilities of the ASPH 35mm Summicron-M could be dramatically better than this earlier version. I do know for sure that this pre-ASPH 35mm Summicron-M has image making performance that is indeed spectacular. It is also more compact than the ASPH version. I have another M6 and don't need two. I have decided to sell this one. This is a truly beautiful camera and lens combination that will bring much pleasure to its new owner! $2500.00 plus $15.00 USA shipping.
