LCM94 Posted August 31, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello I am looking into getting an M and I found this ad: I am wondering if this version exists or if the screw was changed ? I did not find any black M246 with a front silver screw. Looks like a special edition where the covering was changed or something? Thanks for your advices. See the Ad.

Advertisement Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Hi LCM94, Take a look here M Monochrom with silver screw. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Wonzo Posted August 31, 2023 Share #2 Posted August 31, 2023 It`s not only the screw, there is nothing silver on any serial Leica Monochrome camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCM94 Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted August 31, 2023 I am not sure about your reply. It’s probably another M but I cannot Identify what’s been done to it. The seller is not aware. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derleicaman Posted September 1, 2023 Share #4 Posted September 1, 2023 A few of the original M9 Monochrom cameras were made in chrome finish. I have one in chrome with the M9-P engraving on the top cover. Never say never! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I should point out that the top-plate engraving was not a feature of the regular run of S-Chrome Monochrome cameras. As far as the OP goes; I have no idea whether Leica released a batch of so-called 'Panda' M246 bodies. I've certainly never seen nor heard any such thing but, then again, we ARE talking Leica and they do strange things from time to time. Another possibility is that perhaps a dealer swapped-over some parts from a 240 to create the 246 seen here and a S-Chrome 240 with Black-Chrome buttons etc.? Philip.

I know that there is also a silver version of the Monochrome. But LCM94 was talking about a black anodised body, which never has silver parts, as long as it is original. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case I must have misunderstood the intention behind your post #2 because you wrote; "...there is nothing silver on any serial Leica Monochrome camera...". I agree with you, Wonzo, in that I've never heard of a 'Panda' of either type (Black with Chrome / Chrome with Black) released in any of the Monochrom variants.
