As a collector, I think it is worth collecting.

However, I am not a collector. I think it is overpriced for me to buy and use as a working camera.

Besides, the Leica MP Grey Hammertone LHSA is the one I really crave.

Or you could get a regular M camera, purchase the same leather used in the Hermes edition and ask the many available shops that change Leica skins for you : ) They might even have the Hermes leather themselves. (My friend did that by the way with a regular silver MP and even asked the shop to change the back door metal frames from black to silver and the battery button to silver too to go better with the brown leather)

The MP Hermès edition is an MP and, for that reason alone, is worth having but I have no idea whether it is worth buying as a collectible. Personally I don't care much for the colour of the leather or how the back of the camera looks (there's something dog's dinner-ish about the combination of brown leather, silver door, black chrome eyepiece and black plastic ISO dial).

Not very attractive to my eyes, like a buyer made some unwise choices late one night on the old à la carte site. These contrived, artificially scarce special editions are intended purely for collectors, of course, so I suppose they must be collectable.

I hadn't noticed that there was an Hermes version of the MP. Interesting to see that they have gone more 'Standard' in terms of body-shape in contrast to the reworked top-plate profile which was a (IMO quite elegant) feature of the earlier M9-P Hermes;

Cheaper to make, too!

At least with that M9-P you are getting something unique.

Yes. You can add some hammertone spray paint and create a Hermes- LHSA- MP.

But that would not be worth collecting.
