Being a premium, luxury brand in the camera industry, Leica has been following the tradition of releasing its iconic cameras from the past with a titanium spin since 2001. Now, the camera-focused company, which recently launched a premium watch series, has launched a limited-edition model of its classic M-A 35mm film-based rangefinder camera with titanium elements, and it costs more than you can imagine!
Dubbed the Leica M-A “Titan” set, it comes with the analog Leica M-A camera along with the classic APO-Summicron-M 50 f/2 ASPH lens. The analog camera body resembles the Leica M-A (Typ 127) 35mm rangefinder camera that was released in 2014. It was the first purely mechanical camera from the company since the Leica M4-P that came out back in 1981. The APO-Summicron-M 50 f/2 ASPH lens, on the other hand, sports a similar appearance as the very first 50mm Summicron-M lens that debuted in 1956.
It is worth mentioning that Leica would produce only 250 units of the M-A Titan set for worldwide sales. Each of these sets will come with unique, special edition numbers engraved on both the camera and the lens. Users will also get a certificate of authenticity and a titanium leaflet in the box.
