Is a .58 LHSA Black M6ttl being released or is this a "leica myth"??

Thanks,

Jesse

Supposedly Leica made five of the LHSA black paint M6 TTLs. One was offered last Fall as the Grand Prize at the annual LHSA meeting raffle.

A couple of weeks ago I think I read a post by Rich Pinto of Photovillage that there were a few others (100?) produced and he was taking orders for them. Think it was $27-2800 but not certain.

Other than that that's all I know.

Best,

Jerry

they exist, i seen/held em. $2695. but dont know exactly how many made/sent I believe 65 to US but cant confirm. I have seen about 20 in the shops I have been to (4) so the number could rise.

Something like 80 of the remaining .085s LHSA black paints are being converted by Leica to .058. Poor house here I come.

Tamarkin has them on their site for $2495.00 after rebate. I double checked this morning and they are still there in pixel form.

I wouldn't get too excited about what you see on Tamarkin's website. They're an excellent Leica shop, but their website is seldom up to date.

I have no relation to this seller and know nothing about them, but FWIW HERE is one...
