Leica M8.2 Safari Edition camera The 10.3-megapixel german Leica M8.2 Safari Edition camera comes with a Leica Elmarit-M 28 mm f/2.8 ASPH. lens, exclusive Billingham camera case, a matching leather carrying strap, and lots of guilt for spending junior's college fund on a camera.With a production run limited to only 500 units , this special-edition "Safari" includes as well as the olive green painted LEICA M8.2 and the silver anodised finished LEICA ELMARIT-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH.lens, an exclusive Billingham camera case and an elegant carrying strap, bearing an embossed Leica logo. The inspiration for the olive green paint has been the M cameras supplied by Leitz to the „Bundeswehr" (German Army) in the 1960's as well as the LEICA R3 „Safari", both of which are much sought after today and therefore very expensive. The LEICA ELMARIT-M 28 mm f/2.8 ASPH. lens has been very popular since its introduction into the M system. It's very compact dimensions and outstanding performance also apply to this silver anodised version, exclusively available in the Limited Edition „Safari". By using silver anodising on aluminium parts, the low weight of only 180 grams has been maintained. The lens is completed with a classic metal lens hood, also in silver anodised finish.
