Leica M9-P ‘Edition Hermès' Série Limitée Jean-Louis Dumas *

Probably the most impressive special edition Leica ever made, the Leica M9-P 'Edition Hermès' is extraordinary in every respect. The highlight is its 'Veau Swift' calfskin in ocre, supplied by Hermès for the leather finish of the Leica M9-P camera. This exclusive leather trim by Hermès determines the colour concept of the special edition and ensures a perfect tactile sensation. The fine and supple leather is applied not only to the camera body, but is also used for the shoulder strap included in the set. The Leica M9-P 'Edition Hermès' – Série Limitée Jean-Louis Dumas, in a strictly limited edition of only 100 sets worldwide, is a memorial to the friendship between the former president of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas, and Leica. The camera no.4337510 in this set is accompanied by three lenses: a Summicron-M 28 mm f/2 ASPH. no.4161648, Noctilux-M 50 mm f/0.95 ASPH. 4138271, APO-Summicron-M 90 mm f/2 ASPH. no.4174682, all featuring a unique design and stunning silver-anodised finish. This unique collection of photographic equipment finds a fitting home in a hand-crafted Hermès camera bag that is available exclusively as part of this set. As an homage to Jean-Louis Dumas, the set also includes a book with a selection of his pictures. This photographic work in two volumes shows an entertainingly diverse portfolio of 200 black-and-white images captured by Jean-Louis Dumas with his Leica M camera. The camera and lenses are in beautiful, mint condition, the bag shows minimal signs of use. The set comes with all papers, boxes and accessories.
