What it is
{"overview":"The Leitz\/Leica R6 is a mechanical 35mm SLR using the Leica R bayonet mount, introduced in the late 1980s as a manually controlled body with a battery-powered TTL meter. Standard black bodies are the most common; the Platinum 150 Years commemorative and the factory Cut-away demonstrator carry collector premiums and should be authenticated against serial records.

Questions
Does the Platinum 150 Years edition command a higher price?
Yes — the commemorative Platinum 150 Years variant trades above the standard black body, reflecting its limited status among Leitz collectors.
Is the R6 battery-dependent?
No for shutter operation — the shutter is mechanical — but a battery is needed for the TTL meter to function.
