Leica MP Hermès Limited Edition (305/500) with Summicron 35mm f/2 and Additional Accessories

A rare and luxurious collector's item, this Leica MP Hermès Limited Edition camera was released in 2003, with only 500 sets produced globally. This specific set is numbered 305/500, making it a prized acquisition for Leica and Hermès enthusiasts alike.

The camera body is adorned in Barenia leather, a premium natural leather that is highly valued for its softness and durability. The time-intensive tanning process, with intermittent rest periods, ensures the leather's superior quality, longevity, and its distinct tactile experience. The brown Barenia leather perfectly complements the silver chrome finish of the camera body. The leather's edges feature hand-stitched, fine seam lines, further accentuating its craftsmanship.

Key Features and Design Elements:

- Limited Edition Serial Number: 305/500 (engraved on both the camera body and lens)
- Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH. Lens (in silver chrome, matching the body)
- Handcrafted Hermès Leather Strap, designed and made in France with the same Barenia leather used on the camera body, featuring the embossed Hermès logo ("Hermès - Made in France").
- Lens Hood, Camera Body Cover, and Front/Rear Lens Caps are all constructed from solid brass with a matching silver chrome finish, contributing to the camera's durability and premium aesthetic.
- Included Lenses and Accessories:

Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH. (Silver Chrome)

A high-quality, water-resistant canvas and leather case specifically crafted for Leica MP. Offers robust protection while maintaining an elegant and timeless design.
