Not an obvious association, but the German maker has teamed up with skater, musician and photographer Ray Barbee and fashion label Vans to introduce the limited-edition Leica D-Lux 7 Vans x Ray Barbee.<\/h2>\n<p>According to the company, the limited edition \u201cencapsulates the spirit and lifestyle of skateboarding culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The camera is covered in Vans\u2019 famous checkerboard pattern, while the top plate features Ray Barbee\u2019s signature, as well as the Vault logo \u2013 a sub- brand which Vans reserves for particularly high-end products and exclusive collaborations.<\/p>\n<p>The set includes a special carrier strap and matching dust bag, both in petrol blue. One side of the bag is adorned with Barbee\u2019s quote, \u201cThe joy is in capturing the journey,\u201d while the other is emblazoned with some bon mots from Leica founder Ernst Leitz II: \u201cIch entscheide hiermit: Es wird riskiert\u201d (\u201cI herby decide: the risk shall be taken\u201d). This utterance marked the go-ahead for the production of the Leica I in 1924, and Leica was off to the races.<\/p>\n<p>The limited-edition Leica D-Lux 7 Vans x Ray Barbee has the same technical specifications as the conventional model, featuring a large Micro Four Thirds sensor and fast zoom lens with a full-frame-equivalent range of 24 \u2013 75 mm.<\/p>\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption
