Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) “Your Mark” Edition Black Paint w/Summicron-M 35 mm f/2 ASPH EXCELLENT

Limited to just 80 sets (this one is #72), the Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) "Your Mark" Edition and matching lens have a glossy black paint finish over the top deck, bottom plate and lens – all crafted from brass. The retro-style vented round lens hood is also made of brass and coated in the black paint finish, matching the lens and perfectly complementing the red and white enamel paint filled in on the lens engravings. The Leica script logo engraving atop the camera, unique from the standard Monochrom (Typ 246), is filled in by hand with white enamel.

The 35mm f2.0 Summicron Asph II lens was selected as it is arguably the most versatile lens is the line and a favorite of photojournalists worldwide. This lens is also featured in a black painted finish, over brass, with red and has been slightly modified to accept the classic round metal shade of earliest editions of the lens. Even the lens shade is glossy black paint, over brass.

Essentially a monochrome version of the M Typ 240, the M Monochrom Typ 246 offers an increase in ISO range up to ISO 25,000 (up from a maximum of 10,000), a more modern 3" 921k-dot monitor (as compared to the original M Monochrom's dated LCD specs) and all of the benefits of live view shooting including focus peaking and 10x magnification.

This outfit is in excellent condition. The camera has no dents or defects. There are some tiny scratches on the base plate (see photo) but very minor.

Front of viewfinder has minor cleaning marks that won't affect viewing or functionality

The lens appears like new.

Comes with original packaging, charger, instructions and two batteries.
