Product Description
* Specialty Item. Final sale. No returns or exchanges. *
An unusual special model has been created in collaboration with the artist and photographer Rolf Sachs in a set comprising the Leica M-P (Type 240) ‘grip’ by Rolf Sachs and a fast classic lens, the Leica Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. The combination of unusual materials in an eye-catching choice of colour lends the camera a unique look.
Art – to have and to hold: Particularly when making pictures, a Leica M-P ‘grip’ by Rolf Sachs is an extraordinary visual and tactile experience that inspires the passion for photography in an entirely new way with every image captured.
The edition is strictly limited to 79 sets and will be available exclusively from selected Leica Stores around the world.
Distinguishing highlights: red
Designer and artist Rolf Sachs took the Leica M-P rangefinder camera in black paint finish and remodelled it to create the unique style he envisaged. The familiar leather trim was replaced by rubber elements with red nubs that lend the camera a uniquely eye-catching look and simultaneously create an entirely new haptic experience.
The engravings on the body, control elements and the lens are also picked out in red to match the trim. The latter is also engraved with ‘rolf sachs’ on the index ring and the special edition serial number on the front lens retaining ring. A ‘rolf sachs’ logotype graces the back of the top deck as a signature of the designer.
A premium special edition set
The performance and the technical specifications of both the Leica M-P ‘grip’ by Rolf Sachs and the Leica Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. lens are identical to those of their counterparts from the serial production portfolio. The camera offers all the technical advantages of the Leica digital rangefinder system and the particularly versatile lens combines moderate wide-angle character with natural reproduction of proportions.
The special edition comes in a robust, black hard-shell case that protects the set and offers room for an additional M-Lens and personal items such as a tablet. The set also includes a Leica SF 40 flash unit, a cotton carrying strap, cleaning utensils, and a nylon pouch for simple protection of the camera when not in the case.
