Famous sculpture of the oversized Leica camera created by the Chinese artist Liao Yibay. Only 12 of these sculptures have been made and are extremely hard to find (this particular example is the no.2). On the first look the camera looks like an M6, but closer inspection reveals many interesting details borrowed from various analogue and digital Leica models, like the display on the back, slow speeds dial on front, lack of second rangefinder window, MP-188 engraving on top, electronic contacts on the flash shoe etc. The sculptured camera is equipped with ‘Summar’ 2/5cm no.247425 (in a barrel resembling a collapsible Summicron), comes with wooden transportation box and original design drawing by Liao Yibai. The artist is known for creating hand-welded stainless steel sculptures of oversized watches, bags, rings and other luxury items, his work has been acclaimed and exhibited worldwide.
