MP 3 "LHSA Special Edition" set                           $8,300.00
 
Dreams come true

It was in 1956 that the first LEICA MP was made, in a very limited run of just 400 units. Today prices of up to 94,000 Euros are paid for them. With an exclusive anniversary edition, the world's largest group of Leica enthusiasts is commemorating the legendary MP. The LHSA Special Edition combines the classic design of the earlier MP with the precision and durability of the latest production LEICA MP in the series. The limited edition 1,000 unit production run includes 500 black lacquered and 500 silver chrome-plated models. 375 LHSA sets are also offered, consisting of the camera, lens with lens hood and metal cap, Leicavit, leather carrying strap and case. There are also a further 125 LHSA Special Edition single items available: the camera with case; the LEICA SUMMILUX-M 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH. lens with leather case, and the engraved LEICAVIT MP with case.

Truly exclusive                                                    The look of the LHSA Special Edition is true to the original 1956 LEICA MP - including the frames around the viewfinder window, for example, and the historic carrying strap eyelets. The texture of the leather trim is also in line with the classic vulcanite finish.

 

Perfect in every detail                                                              Just like it was back then: the classic bright line frame set for 35, 50 and 90 mm lenses, corresponding to the full negative format of 24 x 36 mm, the external frame counter, shutter speed dial, image field selector, and rewind release lever all correspond to those of the original MP.

Leica MP which has been commissioned by the Leica Historical Society of America. The Leica MP 0.72 LHSA 1968~2003 in Gray Hammertone Finish. Leica AG will limit the production of this series to 1000 pieces worldwide. The top and bottom caps are treated with a gray hammertone lacquer, giving this series a beautiful distinct look.  This finish was used on a small number of M2 and MD cameras of the 1960’s.  The gray hammertone lacquer is very “retro” in apprearance resembling tools also produced in the early 1960’s. This special series of Leica MP 0.72, LEICA SUMMICRON M 35mm f/2 ASPH, and Leicavit M in the same hammertone finish to form an attractive set. The camera, lens, and LEICAVIT M have a special LHSA engraving. Besides the additional LHSA-engraving, the lens comes with a dedicated lens hood, with the hammertone lacquer finish.

Cocoon 70 Lighting Tent 43(w) X 50(h) X 70(d)cm
The simple time-saving innovation that makes lighting small products easy. The Cocoon is an egg-shaped plastic cove made up of four translucent diffusion panels which are fastened with zippers for easy assembly and storage. There are three camera positions to photograph from: overhead, at a 45° angle or horizontally.
Unlike perfectly even light boxes, the Cocoon graduates the light to minimize the "bloooming" of digital highlights and can be lit using sunlight, skylight, full-spectrum fluorescent or flash. The Cocoon is designed for the angle of view and focus needed by a 55-60mm macro lens on a 35mm camera or equivalent.
