Leica recently unveiled its iconic brand collaboration cameras, teaming up with Hello Kitty and Playboy.
In a rather strange union of adult entertainment and a kid's icon, Leica brings forth its limited edition camera with a conventionally sleek black exterior and a white graphic design of Hello Kitty holding a camera, with Playboy bunny ears. The oddly paired trio was brought together by French clothing store Colette to create an item for the store’s Hello Kitty x Playboy collection.
It has a shutter speed of 250 to 1/4000 per second and consists of an MOS primary color filter.
Only 10 of these limited-edition cameras will be available, and they each go for $1,265 for all photography enthusiasts who admire the likes of Hello Kitty and the renowned Playboy brand.
