Leica M7 Titanium with 5 accompanying Titanium M-Lenses

[SzennyBoy]

Probably old news by now but Leica has manufactured a special-designed fully Titanium M7 complete with 5 Titanium M-Lenses for one royal client - His Excellence Sheikh Saud Ben Mohammed Ben Ali Al-Thani!

Quoted from the article:
"The M7 Titanium and its lenses are unique and the price for which it left the workshop remains a well-kept secret in Solms. Somewhere in the range of a lottery jackpot perhaps - and that, too, may be doubted."

Saw it in a recently received back-copy of the LFI (Leica Fotografie International - 6/2003 September Issue).

Outrite ugly!! Ever since Hermes took over, Leica is making "ch'au-ti" ;( If they have to rely on this to survive, their days are numbered

used to be Leica fan

Did you guys note the serial number and production number on it...
Serial No. 8888888, Production: 1/1.

Nescafe - I don't think they rely on these special models (i.e. Hermes MP) to survive... They are simply following their tradition of producing certain special batches to commemorate specific occasions - and make a little on the side as well which doing so! Totally acceptable practice if there is a market for it (read - collectors with sufficient extra spending money with nothing else to buy!).

That camera has nothing to do with photography.


Ok, sour grapes; i take that back. Is that particular sheikh a photographer? Can't wait for him to post some pictures taken with that camera.

Apparently not! Quoted directly from the article (Leica M7 Titanium Technology - LFI 6/2003 September)...

" The unique M7 Titanium will not end up in a display case covered in dust: "I use the camera daily and I believe that the more use I make of it, the more attraction and understanding develops between the camera and the photographer." "

I wonder if LFI will do a follow-up article showing images taken with this beauty?!?

 

[SzennyBoy]

wow~

Talk about customizing... fancy a Barbie M3?!? :bsmilie:
