Leica à la carte- design your own Leica camera
Leica is bringing in a completely unique customization option that has never been seen before. You can now create your own Leica (for a pretty penny) and there are over 4,000 different technical and styling nuances that you can specify for the making of your camera. The “Configurator” on the Leica website allows you to try out the design details before buying the camera. You simply choose your type of camera- you can either choose the Leica M7 or the Leica MP which is completely manual and independent of battery power. Next you can choose between 3 different surface finishes, whether one likes the classic vintage engraved top cover or not, if the controls should be chrome or black. The 6th step involves you picking the leather cladding. Leica offers 13 different materials and colors from red to a really classy black, lizard look. After having chosen the body it’s time for the viewfinder magnification, most interesting for people wearing glasses and the bright-line frame sets. Last but not least, you can choose your own personal engraving.
