Nice 😉

FWIW the colour of my prototype M60 is closer to the titanium lens finish than my production version….

Thanks for the sharing. Indeed I find that the Ti version of 50 apo is slightly darker than the M60 ss. But nevertheless it's a rare combo to come by and no, I do not own this combo, but rather, just the M60 with it's matching 35 FLE.

Are you also able to produce a photo of both front angle? If you don't mind.

Will take a shot later - Prototype series is distinctly darker than the numbered  issue, but i'm not sure why as they have a similar lacquer finish over the S/S base.

Thank you. Yes it looks significantly darker. So good to see that you've 2! Mine came just 2 days ago via ebay at a very good price including the 35 FLE. The bummer is the dead battery shipped with it due to long period of not being used for such a collector item.

You may discard the old battery (Leica manual stated 4 years of useful life),

then happily buy another new battery ( if you can find now those M240 family ones, or two ?).

Surprise surprise, found out that it's the supplied charger which short circuited the supplied batt. Took me another new batt bought from a shop to realise is the charger problem, killed my 2 battery in total. Wow. Now I using a friend old BP-SCL2 and is working. Ordered a new charger from a local store immediately.
