Ruhayat Posted July 17, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just wondering: is it possible to simply swap the chrome top of the M6TTL for a black one? You'd need to also change the bottom plate, I imagine. Any idea how much it would all cost? My dealer won't entertain me (he's not an official Leica dealer, just sells them secondhand). Not that it's such a burning desire, but a black M6 is just too sexy for words. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dk_samurai Posted July 17, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 17, 2010 Find the spare parts somewhere and then do it yourself? YouTube - How to remove Leica M6 camera top plate - DIY I know my local dealer in Denmark has loads of spare parts.

koray Posted July 17, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 17, 2010 Hell, you can! Search ebay for 220514030254. It will cost you 250 bucks, though. K. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruhayat Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted July 17, 2010 Ooh. Cheers, guys. That's not too bad, then... something workable to aim for, certainly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted July 18, 2010 Share #5 Posted July 18, 2010 Surely cheaper (and certainly easier) to sell the chrome M6TTL and buy an equivalent condition black example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruhayat Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted July 18, 2010 Surely cheaper (and certainly easier) to sell the chrome M6TTL and buy an equivalent condition black example. Not in Malaysia. I actually bought the M6TTL brand new just a couple of months ago... it's been sitting hidden away on a shelf at the back of a shop and I just happened to see it on my way to the loo, of all places. They only had the chrome one. It cost RM6,500. The dealer has a black M6 (non-TTL) for sale secondhand at the moment but he's asking RM7,000 for it. I might try and see if anyone wants to do a straight swap or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
