Advertisement Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Hi kivis, Take a look here A new Titanium M-A is coming. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pedaes Posted June 9, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) It's here https://leica-camera.com/en-GB/photography/cameras/sofort/sofort-edizione-radio-deejy?utm_source=CRM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=7017T000000kliFQAQ&utm_term=https%3A//leica-camera.com/m-a-titan-set. Looks fabulous - but pics will not have a titanium tint. The lens will sell it. Look after it and it won't cost you a penny.

madNbad Posted June 9, 2022 Share #10 Posted June 9, 2022 These should prove to be much more impressive than the plain old zinc bubbles: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/images/bubbles-with-titanium-trigger-titanic-explosions.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt736 Posted June 9, 2022 Share #11 Posted June 9, 2022 ''it's solid titanium - not a finish'' I hadn't realised that . I didn't see the full press release till later. Its a shame they couldn't make more as someone already posted its already sold out . That was a short lived discussion.😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the camera (chasis etc) will be the standard construction. The lens, however …. The stainless steel 35 Summilux FLE that came with my M Edition 60 was the best made and feeling lens I ever owned. Unfortunately, it was still a 35 Summilux FLE. This 35 Summicron APO, made in titanium, with the lens hood will be worth the entire purchase price … Edited June 9, 2022 by IkarusJohn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
