Leica's has
announced a special edition of the M9 — the M9-P Hermès special edition. This
$25,000 package was designed in partnership with French fashion designer
Hermès; it includes a custom M9-P covered in ochre-colored calfskin leather
(with a matching shoulder strap) plus a Summilux-M 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH lens.
Only
300 of this set will be made, but there's an even more exclusive set of 100
that adds a fancy case and three lenses: the Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/ 2 ASPH,
Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH, and the APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/ 2 ASPH.
The
multiple-lens set will sell for $50,000, and only 100 will be made. If you're
one of the few who might be able to justify this purchase, make your way to a
Leica boutique. The single-lens edition is available now, while the most
expensive will be released in June. Leica has released a making-of video
that will amaze you with the
hand precision involved.
In
collaboration with automotive designer Walter de'Silva, selected features of
the camera body were restyled, including the top and base plates, the shutter
speed dial, the multifunction wheel and the shutter release. In addition, the
frame selector lever, the accessory shoe and the Leica script on the upper face
of the top plate have also been omitted to further emphasise the unique status
of this limited edition. The camera is finished in silver chrome and its lens
in anodised silver. In another true master stroke of the Leica factory, the two
finishes are absolutely indistinguishable. All protective caps are also
manufactured completely in metal.

M9-P Hermès special edition will be one of those cameras that will be crazed about by youngsters who love taking photographs and as well as choosing a personal color for its varied straps. But I bet there's still an upcoming version that will tip this off the list soon.
