Leica MP Golden Camera: For 60th Anniversary of China Republic

For the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China, Leica has steered away from their usual matte black finishes and brought to light this 24 carat gold-plated MP instead. The run is set to exclusive as only 60 will be made, each given a year between 1949 and 2009. Encased in red calfskin, the Golden Camera will also bear an inscription of Mao Zedong’s favorite slogan and will sport a Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 lens. Of course with something so precious, you’ll also need a wooden box for safe keeping. 199,900 Chinese Yuan (~ $29,300) will get you one, but only in mainland China. If that’s too pricey, fear not as Leica’s also dropping a limited edition M8.2 and D-Lux 4 without the gaudy gold at a more reasonable price.
