M6 Titanium with Summilux-M1.4/35mm
Paul-Henry Van Hasbroeck
This particular Leica M6 Titan was not a special production, instead, it was a tool
used by Leica author cum specialist Paul Henry Van Hasbroeck and has been illustrated
in “Leica in Color” p.94 and comes complete with a copy of “Leica in Color” signed
by Paul Henry Van Hasbroeck. This was the particular camera used by Paul Henry Van
Hasbroeck for the last 20 or so years. Although I seldom idolizing someone but as
a form of respect and personal tribute for, over the decades in his full dedication
and hard work in providing all Leica users and/or collectors worldwide by compiling
so many useful info into readable references, I would like to dedicate a page to
feature this particular camera he used.
