Leica M9P "Masterpiece" is coming

[Speedfreak]

Limited edition of 50 sets sold at the Meister (enlg. "master") Camera stores in Germany.

If I had the cash I´d buy one to sell it at a premium to asian collectors. Or two.

Not that this is in the least bit relevant to my photographic life, but I find it curious that the lens is the 28mm Summicron ASPH.

I would have thought a 35mm or 50mm would be "more classic".

Sounds like you're saying 'What makes it special? Phil Forrest'

I believe you!

 

[dogberryjr]

What makes it special?

The return to a hideous body covering?

 

[Phil_F_NM]

Ha!
Thank you, thank you. One and all!

What makes it special?

The fact that there are only 50 of them and that it has "Meisterstück" engraved on it.

Because Leica said so...

I will be waiting for one engraved "Novicestück" but costing less than a regular M9.

This may look weird only for first hand buyers. Consequent owners will shell out money for camera which has belonged to someone who BELIEVES.

Grey engraving - grey leather, logo in circle - very classic, rather tasteful compared to other specials imo.
Get used to it - Leica has been making special editions since 1928....
(Some of them hideous - including the 1928 and 1929 gold plated snake and lizard skin ones)
Actually this is not even a factory design but a special series ordered by Meister Camera, a major dealer.
