Leica Gold

January 26th, 2010 | Posted in: photography

As my birthday is coming up this thursday I thought I’d give you a suggestion for a present: The Leica MP Golden. This 24 carat gold-plated shooter is built to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. Production is limited to only 60 pieces, each hallmarked with a year between 1949 and 2009. The camera is encased in red calfskin, bears an inscription of Mao Zedong’s favorite slogan and you also get a wooden box to store your equipment in. Sold exclusively in China, it will only set you back 199,900 Chinese Yuan ($29,300) each. Don’t show up empty handed this thursday!
