Leica R6 with Macro-Elmarit-R 60

            Leica R6 (10070), made in 1987
Leitz Macro-Elmarit-R 60 mm, f/2.8, 3 cam (11212), made in 1977

The Leica R6 and its successor, the very similar R6.2, were the only models in the R family that were full mechanical camera bodies. The battery is needed only for the meter and the self-time, both of which are dispensable.

The R6 is comparable to the Nikon FM2, but is altogether larger and heavier and also can do both spot and integral metering.  

Attached is a rather battered  looking Macro-Elmarit-R 60 mm. "Elmarit" is Leica-speak for f/2.8. This lens focuses down to 27 cm, and if that is not close enough, Leica offers various extension rings.  

This was taken with a 2003 Leica D-Lux, which is not to be confused with the new Leica type 109.
