“Leica’s M9-P to be offered in unicorn-guise, $31,770 and Japan-only
Currently drowning in more cash than sense? Do you also call the land of the rising sun home? Excellent, as we’ve found the perfect camera just for you: the elusive white variant of Leica’s M9-P. Restricted to only 50 units, the unicorn shooter will go on sale come June for a cool 2,620,000 yen (or around $31,770) — a hefty premium over the regular (read: black and chrome) permutations which cost $7,995. Granted those pedestrian versions don’t come wielding an insane f/0.95 50mm lens out of the box. And if this ridiculous combo is priced out of your league, you could always go after its cheaper, yet also delectable white predecessor — although we’ll hazard you’re going to need more than just luck finding it” via Engadget
F/0.95? This is just absurd.
