The Leica R6 was a 1988 SLR designed and built by Leica in the traditionalist mold, with mechanically-timed shutter speeds not dependent on battery power. This was a reversal from the R3 through the R5 which had been designed in collaboration with Minolta using an electronically-timed shutter.
The Leica R6.2 took what was basically the same camera, and increased its maximum shutter speed to 1/2000 sec, rather than the 1/1000 of the original model.
