Leica M-P Safari Edition

[Jack Sparrow]

I'm not a big M fan (prefer the MM) but I know the safari editions are pretty popular... Check this out! Leica introduced an M-P safari edition.

Leica "Safari Edition" M-P Announced

I think I'd prefer black furniture over the silver though.

wow, its nice to see Leica occasionally bring out a special edition which is not over priced or a failed concept from the git go.

after the not too memorable Denny Kravits special edition,
its nice to see this one is not brassed out of the box and wrapped in pre torn olive Levis.

Indeed... Not only somewhat "normal" but even cheap by "normal" standards. They do love their olive/safari though.

It looks good from every other angle except from behind. And the package price, while out of my budget, seems good.

I have never seen any of the Safari editions live, but they usually look nice in pictures.

Me on the other hand, i would prefer to see a company with the status of Leica, to produce a new camera/concept rather than coming up with another "special edition" of the same 1953 concept camera....

Well, the profits of these SE/LE cameras goes towards R&D, at least in part. 😉

A bit useless for Safari photography, at least outside the camp though. A nice set, nevertheless. Probably there last version of the 240 before the new M is announced.

That would be the T then.

I love the "Safari" finish. If I were in the market for a digital MP (which I'll never be), I would definitely be interested. The silver hardware is a little off, though. Should be black as OP said.

Same here. That, or either green on green...

The chrome on olive looks ridiculous. I thought a black chrome lens on a black paint body looked bad enough... ugh.

I like the idea of making a special edition camera for combat reportage but they need to let go of their past a little. A desert tan would be awesome, especially because it doesn't heat up as much as black.

And I love how people think these are for Safaris! Ha ha!

 

[Jack Sparrow]

Yeah, not really liking the chrome on olive. Like I said, I'd much rather have black.

Looks like the Lenny Kravitz edition is official too. Oh my.

All I can say is, I hope this means a new M is coming soon. 😀

I like it.
Put black griptac on mine please 🙂

I feel guilty now about taking my M cameras on Safari on a yearly basis...😱

I never particularly cared for the chrome on olive either, but I must say that this is by far their best effort on the theme. I actually quite like it, even if my last safari was in Orlando.
