Lenny Kravitz's Leica M-P Correspondent Design is Befit of a Rockstar

Amid the world of George Foreman grills and Vitamin Water flavors by 50 cent, Leica has teamed up with Lenny Kravitz to create a limited-edition M-P digital rangefinder. “Being able to design my own version of a Leica for my computer Kravitz Design is a huge honor,” says Kravitz, who remembers playing with his father’s own Leica after he returned from covering the Vietnam War. “Although I didn’t have any idea how to operate this thing, I was attracted to the camera because of its design.” With a sleek snakeskin trim and a patina that suggest years of use, Kravitz’s design additions are certainly befit of a rock star. In addition to the camera, the Kravitz Leica includes the venerable Summicron-M 35 mm f/2 ASPH and the Summilux-M 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH lenses, which have been modified to resemble a 1959 design with knurled focus rings and scalloped aperture rings. It’s all contained in a matching snakeskin case and limited to an edition of 125.
