Special Edition film camera M3-P, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Leica Shop Vienna. Only 20 sets were produced; this example is no. 03/20, with body serial number 3976221.
The camera is a modern reinterpretation of the legendary Leica M3, featuring an integrated exposure meter. It is finished in silver chrome with vulcanite cladding and a top plate styled in the classic M3 design. The top plate is engraved with the iconic Leica script and the serial number, while the Special Edition number is marked on the accessory shoe.
The set includes the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. lens (no. 4120572) in silver anodised finish, as well as the original presentation box, matching certificate, and all accompanying papers. Both camera and lens are in mint condition.
For this edition, Leica produced the first silver version of the Noctilux 0.95/50mm as a special one-off. Only many years later did Leica Camera AG manufacture the silver version as a regular production lens.
