LEICA CAMERA ANNOUNCE NEW LEICA M-A TITAN

The Leica M-A “Titan” set marks the sixth time Leica has released a limited-edition with a titanium exterior, continuing a tradition that first started with the Leica M6 TTL “Titanium” in 2001. Distinguished by a look that is as elegant as it is exclusive, the set combines the timeless appeal of the analogue Leica M-A with the classic design of the APO-Summicron-M 50 f/2 ASPH.

To create this high-end ensemble, key components of the camera and lens are milled from solid titanium – a material known for its exceptional resilience and durability. This imbues the camera and lens with an even greater solidity, as well as a unique appearance that is impossible to achieve with any other material.

As a purely mechanical camera, the Leica M-A relies neither on power nor data connections. It is the epitome of Leica’s philosophy to concentrate on the essential: a return to photography in its purest form. The sophisticated design of the special edition is enhanced by the classic ‘Ernst Leitz Wetzlar’ script on the top plate.

Presented in a special presentation box with an inner lining of black silk, the set includes the APO-Summicron-M 50 f/2 ASPH., whose external components are also made of titanium for this special edition – and whose appearance is modelled on the very first Summicron-M with a 50 mm focal length, introduced in 1956. Another element of the set’s classic aesthetic is the round lens hood, also made of solid titanium.

With its unparalleled optical performance, the APO-Summicron-M 50 f/2 ASPH. represents the pinnacle of full-frame lens design. Both the camera and lens feature engravings with their respective special-edition serial numbers.

Limited to 250 units worldwide, the Leica M-A “Titan” set is available as of now at Leica Camera London, 64-66 Duke Street, London, W1K 6JD and specialist retailers for a RRP of £18,000.00.
