Why do I want the Leica M Edition 60 So Badly? | Brad Husick

The other day I stopped by our new local Leica store in the Bellevue Square Mall in Bellevue, WA near Seattle. It’s a lovely, large space with knowledgable people and a very nice selection of Leica gear. One collectible they had in the store was the limited edition Leica M Edition 60 set which is comprised of a stainless steel M body with no LCD, and no other buttons on the back except an ISO dial in the place that older Leica M film bodies had their ISO / ASA dials. It shoots RAW only. In addition, the set comes with a stainless steel M 35/1.4 lens with a special hood, plus a leather half case and attached strap, as the camera body has no strap lugs whatsoever.
