From the editor

A variant of the M6 0.72 silver chrome but with black wind-on lever and shutter release guard, shutter speed dial, rewind knob and crank, frame selector lever and rewind release lever. The camera became known as the "Panda M6" and was produced between 1990 and 1993. It is not a special limited edition, however, a relatively small number of units (probably only around 1,000-2,000) were produced. After that all M6 0.72 silver chrome cameras were all chrome except for the plastic tip of the wind-on lever.
