In January 2009 - Leica Camera AG, Solms announced a collector’s edition M8.2 ‘Safari’ camera set in an olive green finish. This exclusive special edition is limited to only 500 cameras worldwide.
The price includes a Leica M8.2 'Safari' and a 35mm f/2 SUMMICRON-M ASPH, Silver Anodized
The LEICA M8.2 'Safari' edition camera model is in a durable olive green paint finish that is characterized by a particularly comfortable feel and grip. The vulcanite leathering of the camera body also follows the color scheme of the top plate, the base plate and the camera back. This special paint finish lends the camera an appearance ideal for outdoor use and underlines the camera's status as an unobtrusive tool for reportage photography.
The controls of the LEICA M8.2 'Safari' edition are silver chrome, thus creating a visual harmony with the silver finish of the 35mm f/2 SUMMICRON-M ASPH lens. Together with this lens, the Leica becomes an extremely compact and elegant photographic tool.
