Leica M9P officially launched at Singapore Leica Store

[Red Dot Photo]

Discretion, luxury, unparalleled image quality: the words commonly used to describe the M series of Leica. The new Leica M9P brings the discretion to another level, by removing the Leica Red Dot logo completely from the camera. Officially launched today at the Singapore Leica Store, Leica M9P continues the tradition of the M-series Leica since the 1950s.


The official unveiling of the Leica M9P by Melissa Teo, spokes person for Magnum photographer Abbas, Mathieu and Lynn from Leica.


The Chrome coloured re-introduced to the M9P line up (The M9 doesn't come with Chrome) With only just 14 sets of the M9P and of these, just 5 sets of the new Chrome sets in this 14, it is expected that the units have been long reserved and now the waiting queue stretches to more than 30 units. The retail price of SGD$11,400 (compared to the M9 SGD$10,5xx), is no deterrent for those who truly desire this masterpiece! More information on Leica systems found here.

What's the difference between M9 and M9P? Other than removing the Leica Red Dot logo?

Hope to see the review soon!

M9P has the anti-scratch Sapphire screen, lack of 'red logo', 'leatherized' body, lack of 'M9' logo, and a higher price tag! $11,400.
