Leica is ending its 18 years of production of the LEICA M6 - a rangefinder system camera with a mechanically controlled shutter - with a special edition of the last 999 LEICA M6 TTL cameras. These collectors' items bear the imprint “LEICA M6 1984-2002“ on the camera top, signifying the period from the introduction of the camera in the year 1984 to its discontinuation at the end of December 2002.
The Leica M system is being continued with the LEICA M7, an aperture priority model featuring enhanced convenience and operation speed. Other new products, including lenses for the M system, are to follow.

"With the LEICA M6 TTL, it is always the photographer who controls the camera and not vice versa."
