Created by Audi Design, the kit consists of a Leica M-P (Type 240) digital camera and a 35mm f\/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH lens.<\/p>\n

There is no LCD screen and it only shoots raw DNG files, in a bid to ensure high quality images.<\/p>\n

\u2018Working with the Leica M Edition intentionally demands the same care and attention as working with an analogue model,\u2019 states Leica.<\/p>\n

\u2018Only the sensor and entire electronics reflect the state of the art of contemporary camera technology\u2019.\u2019<\/p>\n

A dial on the back allows photographers to alter ISO sensitivity. It has aperture priority and there is information displayed in the viewfinder, such as frames remaining and battery status. There will be 600 units worldwide.<\/p>\n

In an interview with AP at Photokina, Leica Camera AG product manager Stefan Daniel explained the rationale behind the launch.<\/p>\n

Daniel said it forces photographers to \u2018think\u2019 before they capture an image \u2013 stressing photography should be about \u2018making\u2019 pictures, rather than \u2018taking\u2019 them.<\/p>\n

It is due to cost \u00a312,000 when it debuts next month.<\/p>\n

A few dozen units are expected to reach the UK.<\/p>\n
