I received a Leica Bulletin in the post this morning. Attached was an Enquiry Service Post Card, whereby you can tick a box to receive further information on a specific item. The items included the new M7 and Digilux 1. However there was one glaring ommision....no box for the M6.....Is this the end of the M6? By-the-way I live in England.

If the items listed are new products which the m7 and Digilux are, then theres no reason why they should list the m6??

These cards are usually included with The Bulletin and generally only feature new products or special promotions.

Not trying to spread rumors, but I heard from a Hong Kong dealer (that I know very well), that Leica is phasing out the M6TTL.

That's the reason for the rebates right now. There is a GIANT backstock of the camera, but once those are gone, that's it, folks.

In Hong Kong (I live in LA) the price of an M6TTL (grey) is down to $1350.00 US. Collectors: Now is the time to get that M6!
