Leica presents the new Leica M-P \u2018Safari\u2019 special edition set. The set contains a Leica M-P digital rangefinder camera in olive green safari-look and a fast Leica Summicron-M 35 mm f\/2 ASPH. lens in silver chrome finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A total of 1,500 special edition sets is planned for the worldwide market and these are now available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most striking feature of the Leica M-P \u2018Safari\u2019 set is the unusual colour of the camera body. The top deck and baseplate of the Leica M-P are finished in a rugged and resilient olive green enamel that offers comfortable grip and lends the camera its distinctive look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The finishing touch to the safari-look of this special version of the Leica M-P is provided by its colour-matched, olive green leather trim. Silver chrome controls set a contrasting counterpoint in the colour scheme of the camera and ideally reflect the finish of the Leica Summicron-M 35 mm f\/2 ASPH. and its classic round metal lens hood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another outstanding feature of the Leica M-P \u2018Safari\u2019 set is the engraving on the camera body. As an homage to previous editions in olive green finish, today much sought after collector\u2019s pieces, the camera of the Leica M-P \u2018Safari\u2019 sets bears the classic Leica script and the engravings \u2018Leica Camera AG\u2019 and \u2018Wetzlar Germany\u2019 on the top plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contents of the Leica M-P \u2018Safari\u2019 set also include a premium-quality carrying strap in Cognac-coloured full-grain cowhide and a colour-matched case for business and credit cards. Crafted from the same finest-quality leather as the strap, the case has an additional compartment for up to three SD memory cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In all other respects, the performance and technical specifications of the camera and lens of the Leica M-P \u2018Safari\u2019 set are identical to those of the equivalent serial production products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Leica M-P offers all the technical advantages of the Leica digital rangefinder system cameras and possesses the same enduring and robust qualities for which the Leica M-System is renowned. The Leica Summicron-M 35 mm f\/2 ASPH. is distinguished by its excellent sharpness, high contrast and exemplary resolution at all aperture and distance settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite its high speed and exceptional imaging performance, it remains an astoundingly compact lens. Equipped with this 35 mm lens, every Leica M-Camera immediately becomes an extremely compact, versatile and elegant photographic tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
