Looking at the limited edition Hermès-designed M7 camera from Leica, one is more attracted by the packaging and the way in which it has been carefully and ever so elegantly set rather than the actual specifications of the camera or even the quality of pictures that it can dish out. Sometimes it just happens that an odd gadget or two looks so damn good that it can just pass off on sheer charm rather than worry about what comes packed in. The M7 from Leica is just one of those… The packaging is so pretty that we just forget about what lays inside!
Sporting a new silver chrome 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M lens, which is the first model Leica’s used it on, the M7 surely is capable of holding its own once you bring it out of its lavish box and use it for a snap or two. Covered in supple “Swift” calfskin, hand-wrapped after a time-consuming tanning process, the casing compliments the technical precision of the M7 and if anything exceeds it by a notch or two.
You can take home this limited edition piece for $ 12,950 and considering how much of a spotlight the M7 has been under, you better hurry in case you desperately wish to bring one home. Whether on shelf or out at work, the latest from Leica surely floors you with its ravishing style!
