The Leica R6.2 (1992-1997) is the refined version of the mechanical R6 and the last fully mechanical Leica SLR ever made. Like the R6 its shutter is fully mechanical and fires at every speed without a battery, but the top speed rises to 1/2000s, the frame counter is magnified for easier reading, and TTL flash now meters at any shutter speed from 1/100 to Bulb. The battery powers only the TTL meter, which keeps selectable selective (spot) and integral modes with match-LED manual exposure. It mounts the full R-mount line and adapts to modern Leica SL and L-Mount bodies via the R-Adapter L.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a used Leica R6.2 still be serviced?
Usually yes. Leica services many current and recent models, and independent specialists handle older and discontinued bodies, including the clean-lube-adjust (CLA) that vintage cameras often need. Parts can be limited on older or electronic models, so budget for a possible service and factor a CLA into the price on a body that has not been serviced recently.
Is the Leica R6.2 worth the premium over the R6?
For most buyers shopping a mechanical R, yes. The R6.2 raises the top shutter speed to 1/2000 (a stop faster than the R6's 1/1000), adds a magnified frame counter, and improves TTL flash so it meters at any speed from 1/100 to Bulb. It is also the last fully mechanical Leica SLR and the more collectible of the two, so it holds value well. If budget is tight and 1/1000 is enough, the R6 gives you the same battery-free shooting for less.
Is the Leica R6.2 fully mechanical?
Yes. Like the R6, the R6.2's shutter is fully mechanical and fires at every speed without a battery; the cells power only the TTL meter, with selectable selective (spot) and integral metering. It is the final all-mechanical Leica reflex, which is the core of its appeal to shooters who prefer not to depend on a battery-timed electronic shutter.
When was the R6.2 made, and is it rare?
The R6.2 was produced from 1992 into the late 1990s, in lower volumes than the electronic R bodies, because by then the mechanical-purist niche was small. That limited production, plus its status as the last mechanical Leica SLR, makes clean examples scarcer and pricier than most R bodies; on the used market only the R9 routinely sells for more.
What lenses fit the R6.2, and can I adapt them to a digital body?
The R6.2 takes the full R-mount line: it reads 3-cam and ROM lenses fully and meters most 2-cam lenses. The same R lenses adapt to modern Leica SL, SL2, and SL3 and other L-Mount bodies via the R-Adapter L (a mechanical, manual-focus adapter), a common second life for R glass. Confirm a lens is 2-cam or later for full metering on the body itself.
What should I check on a used Leica R6.2?
Confirm the meter wakes and tracks across the range, listen for correct timing at all speeds including the 1/2000 top, and check that the magnified frame counter advances cleanly. Inspect the mirror foam and light seals, the focusing screen, and the prism for haze. As a mechanical body it is serviceable by R specialists, so budget for a CLA if it has not been serviced recently. We track the live used market daily so you can compare before you buy.
