Leica M-A "Titan" Set

Camera in its purest form?

This camera is paired with a Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH lens and is limited to just 250 pieces worldwide.

The body of the cam

Leica M-A "Titan" is an all-mechanical film camera with a sturdy titanium finish but lighter than mass. 

Since it is mechanical, the 35mm film camera doesn't rely on batteries or data connections. The company said that it is the epitome of its philosophy  "a return to photography in its purest form".

The design even has the classic "Ernst Leitz Wetzlar" script on the top plate.

As mentioned, the lens paired is the Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH  lens with an appearance modeled from the very first 50mm Summicron-M lens introduced in 1956.
