Wow, this is the most amazing thing for the photography fanatic who is also an Hermes snob! Perfect gift if you are still looking =) Apparently, there are only 200 of these kinds of people because this limited edition Leica M7 only comes in 100 of each color, in etoupe or orange. The popular M7 model has Hermes leather applied by Hermes craftsman at their atelier. Gorgeous, isn’t it? The problem is, the price is such a barrier even I had to cringe. The regular black no leather M7 is $5495, this Hermes edition is £8850, $14,110 USD!! More than a Birkin, almost as much as an lizard Kelly!! And if it matters to you, I’ve been told this is a really good camera. Thanks Creighton for sending this to me!!
Unfortunately, this isn’t the kind of camera any real photography fanatic would want to buy. It’s the kind of thing that would sit in its pretty orange wrapper (both of them) forever, and that’s no way to treat a Leica!
Actually, a lizard kelly is around $10,000… they only come in size 25cm. So this is much more expensive, it’s almost the price of a 30cm ostrich birkin.
classy and chic..what a delectable treat…ahhh..to dream..what wonders I could capture with this…smile
a “really good camera” eh? If only…..
