In a typical setup of a LEICA M6 Platinum Edition of
1989, it should have a Camera body with a matching platinum-plated SUMMILUX-M 50mm
1:1.4 lens w/lens cap. A dark-brown mahogany wooden presentation box is included
with relevant documentation as well as reading reference leaflet as shown at the
left hand side. The Summilux-M 1.4/50 was not encoded with a matching S/N as with
the camera double serial numbering. In a very unusual case, Leica M6 Platinum Edition
has not been seen with any different configurations. Generally, most of the well
preserved units being transacted at used equipment trading place ranging between
USD5,000~7,000-00. While auction houses which may provide proper authentication services
who are more assuring with quality verification often has a more consistent quotation
of ranging between EURO 4,000~5000-00.

| Recently, I was lead by a surfer to take to look at an
auction for a LEICA M6 Platinum Edition which has quite a different body configurations
from regular production units. It has most of the common features as found on comparing
model - EXCEPT the camera has all the body operating parts which include the film
advance lever, the outer ring for exposure counter, the shutter speed dial, rewind
knob, rewind release lever and the frame-preselector lever as well as the accessory
shoe all in an unusual black finishing. The seller was considerate enough to provide
a 30" x 72 dpi explosive file for users to take a look at the details. Before
the end of auction, I managed to download a photo of this unusual M6 Platinum unit
for you to refer. I am not a historian on camera nor a very serious Leica collector
and all I want is to share a find via the web but I hope the experienced collector
to shad some light on this model. |
