Total of 500 sets only, of which this set we're offering you has got the number : 204/500 (Leica number : 10307). With the elegant " LEICA MP Edition Hermès " cameras, Leica Camera AG of Solms, Germany initiated a series of strictly limited annual editions of its legendary Leica rangefinder cameras to be issued on special occasions. The "Edition Hermès" is a special edition of only 500 silver-chrome LEICA MP cameras covered with exquisite Barenia calfskin supplied by the famed Parisian high-fashion house Hermès.

The processing of Barenia leather, which has a very fine, natural grain, gives it its unmistakable luxurious "feel". In order to achieve optimal quality, it is tanned in a time-consuming process that is periodically interspersed with "rest phases" for the material.

The naturally brown leather harmonizes particularly well with the silver chrome finish of the camera. Along its edges it is discreetly decorated with a fine seam line that is meticulously applied by hand. In addition to a 35 mm f/2 LEICA SUMMICRON-M ASPH. Lens that is also finished in silver chrome, this special edition includes a camera carrying strap that is handcrafted by Hermès, using the same exquisite Barenia leather.

The lens hood, the camera body cover as well as the front- and rear covers of the lens are made of solid brass and they too, are finished in silver chrome. Details such as the silver-chrome finger rest on the lens and the special serial numbers from 001/500 to 500/500 engraved on the lens and on the camera round out the differences from regular production models. The cooperation with Hermès is indicated by a fine embossing on the back of the carrying strap that reads Hermès - Made in France.

Camera and lens are of course fully functional and are both in a nice condtion as you can see on the attached images. Comes with all the papers and certificates included in the original box (outside box shows some wear as you can see).
