"I have a vague recollection that the R6 shutter is metal  and that the R6.2
went to plastic shutter blades because of the lighter weight required for
1/2000th. Not certain if that is true."

The 1994 R-System brochure featuring the R-7 and 6.2 says:"The metal-blade shutter gives every Leica
R camera the famous silky-smooth Leica shutter release..."  No mention of plastic.
