This exclusive release is a carefully curated design that marries aesthetics with practicality. The camera’s body is adorned with armour crafted from genuine wood—walnut veneer intricately fashioned into a cross-cross grid pattern. This thoughtful detailing imparts a tactile and visual allure, elevating the camera to a domain of sophistication, thus embracing its relentless pursuit of innovation.
The glossy black paint finish, meticulously applied to the metal components, acts as a perfect complement to the wooden armoring. This dynamic interplay creates a compelling contrast, accentuating the attention to detail evident in every facet of the Leica M6 Set “Leitz Auction.” Each glance at this masterpiece embarks on a visual journey, a celebration of texture, form, and the harmonious fusion of disparate materials into a seamless whole.
Taking center stage in this creation is the Leitz logo—a venerable emblem of Leica’s rich heritage. This iconic insignia is crafted from solid gold by a highly skilled German goldsmith. In a graceful dance with the golden logo, the Leica M6 imprint and the ISO selector wheel markings at the camera’s rear emerge in a matching gold tone, weaving a narrative of elegance and continuity.
Beyond its visual spectacle, the Leica M6 Set “Leitz Auction” is a functional marvel. It features the Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. lens, as a steadfast dedication to optical excellence. Accompanying the lens is a body cap, lens cap, and lens hood, each adorned with a glossy black paint finish that unifies the ensemble in a symphony of sophistication. Adding a final touch of refinement is the custom-made black leather strap.
An ode to exclusivity, the Leica M6 Set “Leitz Auction”; is a rare gem, limited to a mere 20 units. Exclusively available in Vienna, this collector’s edition extends an invitation to enthusiasts and collectors to partake in a celebration of two decades of photographic excellence.
