The limited edition Herm\u00e8s-designed M7 camera from Leica<\/a> has been taken out of its silk-lined box by The Purse Blog<\/a>, and while they don’t go into actual review mode, the unboxing pics are more than enough for me to leer at.<\/p>\n

Vlad from The Purse Blog only comments on a few specifics of the M7, writing that it is:<\/p>\n

\n

“covered in supple “Swift” calfskin which is, of course, hand-wrapped after a time-consuming tanning process that gives it a fantastic luxurious feel”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s also sporting a new silver chrome 35mm f\/1.4 Summilux-M lens, which is the first model Leica’s used it on.<\/p>\n

Will Vlad take it on a hunting trip or safari jaunt, like our own Mr. Nosowitz suggested<\/a> when the camera was first announced? Will he hell. He claims “this is an investment piece than will never see a roll of film.” The $12,950 camera will be tucked in a cabinet for life, which is probably just as well considering the price.
