Leica launches limited editions of M-series cameras Typ 262 in a limited quantity of 100 pieces. A special feature of the limited-edition version is that the base and upper body are made of anodized aluminum and painted bright red.
The limited-edition cameras lack video recording and Live View mode and are technically identical to the existing M Typ 262 . With the limited-edition versions of the cameras, the company suggests using the 50mm F2 APO Summicron-M lens in red, which was released in similarly limited quantities in November 2015. Future owners of the new M Typ 262 will be lucky to have this lens in their arsenal.
Red cameras will be sold through Leica’s own stores. The company claims that the use of red is a pretty bold decision, but many users think that the $7,000 price tag is more bold. For comparison, the price of the standard M Typ 262 is $4,680.
