Leica M8 White Edition

The special edition of LEICA M8 - “White” - was announced. It features a white finished body.
The LEICA M8 “White” edition camera model comes in a durable white paint finish that is characterised by a particularly comfortable feel and grip.
The LEICA M8 “White” is presented as part of a special edition set. The M8 “White” set includes a LEICA M8 white finished camera body and silver LEICA ELMARIT-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH lens with a metal lens shade in classical design and a silver UV/IR filter. Additionally a real leather white carrying strap was especially made for it.
The “White” edition, as well as naturally “normal” Leica M8, features all the key characteristics of analog reporter’s camera such as the compact design, the exceptional picture quality in conjunction with the Leica M lenses and the unique picture composition using the Leica viewfinder.
This is not the first time Leica camera produced with a unique colour scheme. The olive green colour was previously used for two other Leica cameras: in the 1960’s, olive green-painted Leica cameras were supplied to the military and used for surveillance and documentary photography. The second olive green camera model, the Leica R3 ‘Safari,’ was first introduced in 1977.
The LEICA M8 “White” set will be available from Leica specialist dealers from late June 2009.
