The Leica M6 Titanium was first announced during Photokina 1992. It was the first model in a planned series of a added Titanium-finish of camera & lenses in the Leica rangefinder system. The Titanium finishing was not exactly using raw titanium metal , which include the top plate/rear section as well as the base plate; it was actually a coated layer of Titanium plating. However, as most normal Leica M6 bodies are treated with chrome plated over a diecast zinc for exposed parts such as the top and base plate, the M6 Titanium base material for the essential parts were using a stronger brass. It was then coated with Titanium plating.
