Thus, the compact construction and technical features of the LEICA M9 ‘Titanium' retain the distinctive style of a true Leica M camera.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMX4nDCY927VgXCUYcbzVBFD3y2i70MkWZzvaRh-WBmU0EJjuFqvPVtxf-vInuV2O9gdvJz_A8S3OzeTwtuSpEdqHK_o0Pu6J-So2qA5ldgeSJnHPjE4aCN2hIijJD1ZQ2oqKjaTKIAq0l/s1600/Picture+5.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524666127368842786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMX4nDCY927VgXCUYcbzVBFD3y2i70MkWZzvaRh-WBmU0EJjuFqvPVtxf-vInuV2O9gdvJz_A8S3OzeTwtuSpEdqHK_o0Pu6J-So2qA5ldgeSJnHPjE4aCN2hIijJD1ZQ2oqKjaTKIAq0l/s400/Picture+5.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 399px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHOpvL03DXjYztIBnV-hphJwpcNHeqJCRpTKEo2C6LC2x2r6lcue5JhymKax51CMRiEWM5epK7GLbkhyphenhyphenUM4ggtvQ5niKoAQZXRGKQwhEKczfEny7YQSwTqjHDiGy-GUYZ336KoE1p6Y_Zz/s1600/Picture+13.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524662202664843730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHOpvL03DXjYztIBnV-hphJwpcNHeqJCRpTKEo2C6LC2x2r6lcue5JhymKax51CMRiEWM5epK7GLbkhyphenhyphenUM4ggtvQ5niKoAQZXRGKQwhEKczfEny7YQSwTqjHDiGy-GUYZ336KoE1p6Y_Zz/s400/Picture+13.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 531px; height: 405px;" /></a><br /><br />The LEICA M9 "Titanium" is constructed exclusively with premium quality materials. For instance, all visible metal elements of the camera body are made from solid titanium, a particularly light but extremely strong and durable metal that can only be manufactured with special tools.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtnUjtY6FezNQmqs_7qhpDgaPphpTBQXpF8W_dijWXFoeptHhH0hSSzox6CwUWztH_itnwpb0aqkpig3pRmV-t8kaLd06L1F6bqNo-iZEDBvKgVMgoWxN__34ZWB1K_pjowB2z2FxmhOO1/s1600/Picture+8.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524665432431690066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtnUjtY6FezNQmqs_7qhpDgaPphpTBQXpF8W_dijWXFoeptHhH0hSSzox6CwUWztH_itnwpb0aqkpig3pRmV-t8kaLd06L1F6bqNo-iZEDBvKgVMgoWxN__34ZWB1K_pjowB2z2FxmhOO1/s400/Picture+8.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 536px; height: 391px;" /></a><br /><br />In addition, the exposed surfaces are also treated with a hard coating applied by a specialist company in Switzerland. Scratch-resistant, sapphire-crystal glass is employed as a protective cover for the camera monitor and further enhances the exclusive and rugged character of the camera.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-JLIFmIf1qoeZ9rkld1B5gVK8Qg8ouTrwkAuNEwZyMtiRYZbDRGNkUMFLKos-afX3ZjGFNnj7oagoRAPzYWe6D6keP3oLA4vBsdQ3uwNqAoELYEciVfkyd5Me6GBJNeqCM7Iro4yd8n-Y/s1600/img17963.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524656892395978514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-JLIFmIf1qoeZ9rkld1B5gVK8Qg8ouTrwkAuNEwZyMtiRYZbDRGNkUMFLKos-afX3ZjGFNnj7oagoRAPzYWe6D6keP3oLA4vBsdQ3uwNqAoELYEciVfkyd5Me6GBJNeqCM7Iro4yd8n-Y/s400/img17963.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 516px; height: 340px;" /></a><br /><br />The camera's trim, which uses leather typically reserved for the interiors of Audi's premium automobiles, fits perfectly with the body's titanium surface and provides outstanding grip. The grip characteristics are additionally enhanced by a specially designed and embossed diamond pattern.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoYjDvDFlDjrz3E6SyRdvt7Qw9CtDaUY7GmF8VWeT51jssR5zekI4iGZbt-fwnI8u_F1ginB5hPN34cR4V2GmBOolY-lJ3IIlIq-rYqnphYxLCUVe_mVVuTGEIFjZesar_NTmeNuHXfOHk/s1600/img17942.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524655604358777234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoYjDvDFlDjrz3E6SyRdvt7Qw9CtDaUY7GmF8VWeT51jssR5zekI4iGZbt-fwnI8u_F1ginB5hPN34cR4V2GmBOolY-lJ3IIlIq-rYqnphYxLCUVe_mVVuTGEIFjZesar_NTmeNuHXfOHk/s400/img17942.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 355px;" /></a><br /><br />Walter de'Silva addressed not only the design of the camera, but also focused on its handling and technical specifications. New features include the LED illumination of the bright-line frames in the viewfinder, removing the necessity for a standard illuminating window and making the front aspect of the camera even more balanced.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX-JDS-x6tVKtgKMRkhOeJhGcNWWUTA037a3NiQFmk-iVnF7g4sPssXrh4NRWomLWjd1eiE2qZUIN4mJvrVfM3-A6olVcUN0NaXrlJ0QeLyoPp0vSiQxM6uAE-_Qskw78CUfkl-W0CwX3F/s1600/img17969.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524657716938750706" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX-JDS-x6tVKtgKMRkhOeJhGcNWWUTA037a3NiQFmk-iVnF7g4sPssXrh4NRWomLWjd1eiE2qZUIN4mJvrVfM3-A6olVcUN0NaXrlJ0QeLyoPp0vSiQxM6uAE-_Qskw78CUfkl-W0CwX3F/s400/img17969.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 522px; height: 388px;" /></a><br /><br />Furthermore, the Leica logo has been restyled and is elaborately hand-engraved in pure resin, inlaid with white enamel, sealed with clear varnish and then polished and positioned centrally - directly above the lens.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lens with a new, focused design concept</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjHWl3bY_-NB3pKi_JxExvjuNSjTFhF52gMbFfU4qDgDsMNfV5_qdTkIpOplumUDLGuBoT7yvrAy6kabAGT5qKeK4kHNEMJfOyUWGKZtRVEy9cktmHdxL1hJ-D9U-4EfaiD5R-IcUKZj2m/s1600/img17943.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524655911896428146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjHWl3bY_-NB3pKi_JxExvjuNSjTFhF52gMbFfU4qDgDsMNfV5_qdTkIpOplumUDLGuBoT7yvrAy6kabAGT5qKeK4kHNEMJfOyUWGKZtRVEy9cktmHdxL1hJ-D9U-4EfaiD5R-IcUKZj2m/s400/img17943.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 358px;" /></a><br />The LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. lens supplied with this special edition, also features a new, focussed design concept, in which the essential elements harmonise perfectly with the style of the camera.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Innovative carrying and holding concept </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyPoUyJkTnCip1jTENpi01mOEzc4O6cbpG39UkhXS5PiS4DIS3GdNXQ2io0cjsR7le-jBxR4vsfXLUGjIuTurHdcLYPfMSc8QuNbbcYpJ4-bK6y7YgwqSP1ZJRt6WtvLk-tKoe_YNf0FDW/s1600/special+strap.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524652320961210050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyPoUyJkTnCip1jTENpi01mOEzc4O6cbpG39UkhXS5PiS4DIS3GdNXQ2io0cjsR7le-jBxR4vsfXLUGjIuTurHdcLYPfMSc8QuNbbcYpJ4-bK6y7YgwqSP1ZJRt6WtvLk-tKoe_YNf0FDW/s400/special+strap.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 480px;" /></a><br /><br />Instead of the traditional strap lugs of standard cameras, the chief designer and Leica engineers developed an innovative camera carrying concept that is reduced to just one single mounting point on the camera body.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivHvYHzSgdKCof_JQUqHbm_Qnp-wCOKCzuA0CB5fpmM1QO6R6HayZjGdErb4GN7ewGTsg1VwzgaIoFnDDBhLl0CuTzOI0GO9fKqHkdFpWB0qTP1AImIuSOUcZcMqK5UEO5gPPGLhQuCU3N/s1600/img17965.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524660353688312866" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivHvYHzSgdKCof_JQUqHbm_Qnp-wCOKCzuA0CB5fpmM1QO6R6HayZjGdErb4GN7ewGTsg1VwzgaIoFnDDBhLl0CuTzOI0GO9fKqHkdFpWB0qTP1AImIuSOUcZcMqK5UEO5gPPGLhQuCU3N/s400/img17965.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 522px; height: 354px;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Exclusive Equipment</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Asb4_LbwALenIu6p-Xw2776Ttf4Qm8v6ie6na4SJV0CmQmbUBl7z-Cb1ZBYD0KHTl4ic38e9QjbXzbPDwnTDZCLU-2VLG1HHd1eXYXMAMekgsycU1PfjvX6BZTLwHNi2Edq_An1Zmk5Q/s1600/img17964.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524657502730771986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Asb4_LbwALenIu6p-Xw2776Ttf4Qm8v6ie6na4SJV0CmQmbUBl7z-Cb1ZBYD0KHTl4ic38e9QjbXzbPDwnTDZCLU-2VLG1HHd1eXYXMAMekgsycU1PfjvX6BZTLwHNi2Edq_An1Zmk5Q/s400/img17964.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 519px; height: 342px;" /></a><br /><br />In addition to the camera and lens, the LEICA M9 "Titanium" special-edition set includes a distinctive shoulder holster, a carrying strap and finger loops in two different sizes that are also in the same Audi premium leather as used on the camera body.

The luxury camera comes with a matching strap, an anodized silver 35mm lens, and of course, stunning packaging.

The top plate has the typical classical style with engraved Leica lettering. The normal red Leica logo is eliminated in favor of the body color. All control buttons are made of metal. The camera back cover has the silver chrome finish. The engravings "Auto" and which are normally filled in with the color red are filled with the color of the leather covering. The leather itself is the original Hermes calf leather Veau Swift and has a decorative seam. Aside from the normal serial number, each unit of the edition has an individual number, 001/200 to 200/200.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Leica Summilux-M 35mm/f1.4 ASPH silver anodized finish</span><br />The Leica 35 mm lenses are the basic equipment for M-cameras and are very popular. The Summilux 35mm/f1.4 ASPH is one of the references in the fast wide angle field. The silver anodized version with the limited edition cameras is the same weight as the black version as the silver anodized surface is based on aluminium. The lens is completed by the classic round lens hood made of metal with silver anodized finish which is manufactured exclusively for the limited edition cameras. Front and rear caps are made of silver anodized metal.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFwkPTZ__2lEhEZ4nApx5rKIJi3pHUoGxfI512zQ8HclDJUbCmPLMldXqH7Wq_GBnXnzhJllMCgIZrfsejMRE8Q5shOvyVQvOAidU8YRLtaPLsGpBh5PdpBwmfjBVJCmasLbUO2-bzbIHz/s1600-h/hermes-leica-m7-official-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435258899275508354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFwkPTZ__2lEhEZ4nApx5rKIJi3pHUoGxfI512zQ8HclDJUbCmPLMldXqH7Wq_GBnXnzhJllMCgIZrfsejMRE8Q5shOvyVQvOAidU8YRLtaPLsGpBh5PdpBwmfjBVJCmasLbUO2-bzbIHz/s400/hermes-leica-m7-official-1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 518px; height: 343px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiRqy3G3eHrCrBosH9amOGxbXcdoL8H46hfFs_bLBnKVVYpInzUvz5yQqRo4b6bq0rPRGGV-yQOOsWPl29WpjnxZPSBmRsrhJjzsWvh_87szA1Ew8JS928F8n-HEeZpznX9pUOegMZO7ys/s1600-h/Picture+37.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435272165997875938" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiRqy3G3eHrCrBosH9amOGxbXcdoL8H46hfFs_bLBnKVVYpInzUvz5yQqRo4b6bq0rPRGGV-yQOOsWPl29WpjnxZPSBmRsrhJjzsWvh_87szA1Ew8JS928F8n-HEeZpznX9pUOegMZO7ys/s400/Picture+37.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 511px; height: 365px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-PtDx0M1jNEJUT1KjEhAxOq565JUnwyF179DypJtYaaJpqsDjRheSYuTh0y9WYol83rXFtVCSLkAlgKZ-04SwBOxCcnhq0oQahyphenhyphenyN7T90GzauRByBHZfTvV19nxn3FpPZRscnNs3iiZNR/s1600-h/Picture+35.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435272386924264434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-PtDx0M1jNEJUT1KjEhAxOq565JUnwyF179DypJtYaaJpqsDjRheSYuTh0y9WYol83rXFtVCSLkAlgKZ-04SwBOxCcnhq0oQahyphenhyphenyN7T90GzauRByBHZfTvV19nxn3FpPZRscnNs3iiZNR/s400/Picture+35.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 499px; height: 324px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above images courtesy of </span><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com.my/Leica-MP-Hermes-Edition-new-boxed_W0QQitemZ370299638832QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFilm_Cameras?hash=item5637941430" style="font-style: italic;">ebay,</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> where this brown one was for sale by <a href="http://www.arsenal-photo.hk">Photo Arsenal Of Hong Kong</a>, but has already been sold. </span></span><br /><br />But there's another <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com.hk/499-500-LEICA-MP-Hermes-EDITION-Summicron-35mm-2-APSH_W0QQitemZ310193031749QQcategoryZ15234QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSI%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BRTQ%26otn%3D10%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7663251529775769323">for sale on ebay here.</a><br /><br />The Leicavit-M i s mounted instead of the camera bottom plate.
