Leica M10–R Black Paint Finish

$13,900, From leica-store.com.au

The black, silver, and red look of the Leica M10 camera is iconic, and you instantly know what you’re looking at when you see it in the flesh. With this new edition, though, Leica is trying something new, cladding the silver elements in a new gloss black outfit, and omitting the trademark red dot entirely. The result is a limited edition comprising just 2,000 units worldwide, and a new take on an absolute classic.

The performance of the M10-R Black edition is exactly the same as its Silver Chrome counterpart – the same 40MP resolution, the same ISO 100-50,000 range, the same everything – so if you want to save yourself some cash, you can opt for that traditional model for a mere, erm, $12,000. Time to start adding those spare coins to the money jar, and eventually you’ll have the gear to help you capture that perfect shot.
