This is a rather rare Leica M6 Chrome "Panda" edition, named for its distinctive two tone appearance combining a silver chrome top and base plate with a black film advance lever, shutter speed dial, and rewind knob. Unlike the standard all-silver or all-black M6, the Panda offers a unique, eye catching contrast that has made it highly sought after by collectors and discerning photographers alike. This particular example, graded Exc+, is in very good working order and presents a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Leica's more unusual aesthetic heritage.
