The Leica M system celebrates its 70th anniversary with the announcement of the special limited set 'Leica M Edition 70'. This set is based on the film camera 'Leica M-A', originating from the M3 first introduced in 1954, and features a special platinum coating model.
With only 250 units available worldwide, it is a must-see for photography enthusiasts and collectors.
Timeless Design and Functionality
The 'Leica M Edition 70' is characterized by its durable platinum coating, with a finish that resembles a work of art. The Leica M-A, with its simple operation, is a fully mechanical camera without an exposure meter, conveying the feel of classic film photography to the modern era.
Additionally, the set includes the interchangeable lens 'Leica APO-Summicron-M f2/50mm ASPH.', which achieves highly precise rendering, delivering sharp images in any scene.
The Appeal of the Limited Set
This limited set also includes the high-speed winder 'Leicavit M' and monochrome film, further enhancing the traditional analog photography experience. The 'Leicavit M' allows for manual high-speed film winding, enabling speedy shooting while enjoying the charm of classic film photography.
In addition, each set is assigned a serial number, adding details that appeal to collectors.
70th Anniversary Event
In this commemorative year, Leica plans to publish the book 'LEICA M' to celebrate the 70th anniversary. This book delves deeply into the development process and history of Leica M cameras, showcasing numerous photographic works and archival materials. Additionally, a special exhibition of historic M cameras is planned at the Wetzlar headquarters in Germany, offering a unique opportunity for fans.
