German camera brand Leica has announced the launch of the 'Leica M-A Titan,' an all-new version of the company's signature Leica M-A model that has been upgraded with an extra-tough titanium treatment.
As the name suggests, the Leica M-A Titan swaps the original model's brass parts for solid titanium, which serves to lend the unit a sleek and luxurious aesthetic quality. In addition, the camera has been updated to include APO-Summicron-M 50 f/2 ASPH lens, which is more versatile than the original model's lens. What's more, this lens features a rounded hood and added external components, which are made from a lightweight alloy material.
For those interested, the Leica M-A Titan is being limited to a total of 250 units, making it a rare collector's item.
