The Leica M Edition 70 film camera has been unveiled as a luxe accessory perfect for avid photography enthusiasts to incorporate into their collection as a way to pay homage to the namesake M rangefinder series from the brand.
The camera is characterized by its platinum-plated design that's paired with a Leicavit fast winder, a 50mm APO-Summicron-M f/2 lens to match and a platinum film container, complete with a roll of black-and-white film. The camera acts almost as much of a high-end piece of jewelry as it does a piece of photography equipment given its opulent construction.
The Leica M Edition 70 film camera is priced at $22.995 and is limited to just 250 examples for collectors to get their hands on.
