The kit includes two lenses (Leica Summicron-M 35 mm f/2 ASPH and Leica Summilux-M 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH) and a bespoke case. The 50mm Lux lens is based on the classic design from 1959.

So now we come to the question who is going to buy such a camera? A patina on balck cameras like M3, M2 can be quite nice, but doing it on purpuse? On a digital camera? And then the price: $24,500?

What do you think? Is this a serious aproach? And, is the camera worth it?
