Is it in relation with the Westlicht Auction to be held in Wetzlar ? The item #100 of the catalogue is a "mystery item"... related to 100 years of Leica... base price 22Keuro but with a bid of 24K (this, before MY bid... :D:p)

 

Very nice, anyway... who knows how is the finder ? 0,91 or 0,85 ? Fine to see the good old frame selector lever...

As the first Leica special edition of its kind, the Leica M Edition 100 brings together a purely mechanical rangefinder camera for film photography – the LEICA M-A – with a digital Leica M (LEICA M MONOCHROM) in one set. The combination of these two cameras is unique. Its symbolic character as an homage to the beginnings of Leica 35 mm photography and, in particular, to black-and-white photography makes the centennial edition truly special. This applies, above all, to its high-quality construction and finish: for the first time ever, both Leica cameras and the lenses in this set are made from solid stainless steel.

 

Both cameras stand as symbols for the origins of Leica photography and the present day. The Leica M-A, with technical specifications based on the currently available Leica MP film camera, is a direct descendent of the Ur-Leica. Alternatively, the second camera, a Leica M Monochrom, is the contemporary variation of the theme composed a century ago by Oskar Barnack.

 

The set also includes THREE SUMMILUX-M LENSES with focal lengths of 28, 35 and 50 mm. Renowned for their combination of extremely compact size, speed and exceptional imaging quality, they ideally reflect the characteristic performance criteria with which Leica lenses contributed to the establishment of the brand as a legend.

 

101 kits made ... the picture within the mail isn't so clear... but it seems indeed that the wider WA isn't neither a 21 nor a 24... so maybe the "28" I evidenced is NOT a typo...
