Leica's 100th Anniversary kits

Post by melek »

To celebrate 100 years, Leica is producing 100th Anniversary kits of several products, including a dual film and digital M, the Leica S and the D-Lux 6 -- all called "Edition 100."

Of the group, the Leica M "Edition 100" kit is notable, because it includes both a film and digital M body with three lenses. The three Summilux lenses are 28mm, 35mm and 50mm focal lengths. Leica is making only 101 of these kits.

Amateur Photographer says the Leica M "100 Edition" will sell for £40,000, which is US$67,400, depending on the daily forex rate.

Here's more information about the "100 Edition" kits that Leica will be producing.

Yikes, I misread this as one camera doing both film and digital, and I thought, "Sign me up." But, it's two cameras in one box. Not your fault, Mike, just my wishful thinking getting in the way.

An awesome set for those with the money. It's simply too valuable a collectible to do anything with it, but keep it in a glass case on display however.

They've got a kit for the S model too, only it's more aligned to the user, as they are touting the savings over buying the items separately.
