There are many ways to celebrate the 60th anniversary of a country. China’s history has certainly been interesting so it’s no question that a camera that would be nearly $30,000 in the states is the only thing really fit for the moment. For more than 3x the price of the plebeian MP you can get a gold plated Leica MP complete with red calfskin in a lovely wooden box. This of course does come with a very nice gold plated Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 lens as well.
While it’s only available in China, this is something so important and so significant you certainly can’t let this opportunity pass you by. Time to start finding someone to import it now though, there are only going to be 60 of them!
You can also round out the collection with accompanying special edition M8.2 and D-Lux 4 cameras also made for this celebration, sadly they won’t be lovingly plated in a layer of gold.
I don’t know if these images are actually from Leica, I’m guessing they’re not, so hopefully there will be some official glamor shots to look forward to!
