The body of the Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ is dressed in the typical RAW house style, and incorporates the slogan ‘LEICA BY G-STAR RAW… JUST THE PRODUCT’. The special edition’s leather trim sporting distinctive dots is also unique, and is the first time that this finish has been used on a Leica digital compact camera.
