Today, Leica has announced
a new special edition camera set, the Leica M Monochrom “Signature” by AndySummers. Designed with guitar legend and former member of The Police Andy
Summers, the camera is definitely striking. From the high-gloss black finish with
silver controls and striking red engraved signature that spans the entire top
of the camera, to the photographic montage of Summer’s own photography printed
on special leatherette, the Leica M Monochrom “Signature” by Andy Summers is
boldly styled.
Along with the camera, for
a cool $14,995, the set includes a matching 35mm f/2 Summicron-M ASPH, also
trimmed in high-gloss black paint with red and white engravings, a Fender
Guitar-inspired black leather strap, and an Oberwerth black leather carrying bag
with red contrast edge stitching.
This set is adds to the
existing line of rock and roll influenced special editions from Leica Camera.
The M Monochrom “Drifter” Set and M-P “Correspondent”, both by Lenny Kravitz,
Leica Q “Nikki Sixx Edition” and the M Monochrom “Jim Marshall Set” all played
off similar themes, yet each is extremely unique. I’m sure fans of The Police
or Andy Summers will be interested in the set. To make things even more
interesting for collectors, Fender will simultaneously be launching a Signature
Edition Andy Summers guitar.

a price of $14,995. You can pre-order the camera at Leica Store Miami, by
