Fancy A White Leica?

Allegedly, Leica is finalising a new, limited-edition version of its digital rangefinder camera. Luxist has it that an all-white Leica M8 - or, more probably, M8.2 - is on its way to become available in “extremely limited” numbers. There is no info on pricing yet, but if the olive green Leica M8.2 Safari Edition is anything to go by, expect it to cost at least double the price of the standard all-black version (which isn’t exactly the cheapest digital camera on the planet to begin with).

Website: Special Edition All-White Leica M8 At Luxist.com

Update (15 April 2009): photoscala reports that the Leica M8 White Edition will cost €7,000 in a bundle with a silver-coloured Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 wide-angle lens, and should be available from mid-June.

Pretty. But I'll need a government bailout before I could buy one.

Maybe Germany can start a Cash For Camera Clunkers program to help Leica.

I've got a broken Minolta XD11 I'd love to get rid of. It's kind of a distant cousin of this camera, from the R side of the family.
