The best Leica deal this holiday shopping season

By LR admin | Published: December 14, 2015

Leica-M-P-Typ-240-Safari-kit
Believe it or not, the best Leica deal this holiday shopping season is the Leica M-P (Typ 240) Safari limited edition set that is still available at some retailers (Adorama, Amazon/Ace Photo). The set contains:

The price of the M-P Typ 240 Safari kit is $8,791.20 (after the 12% discount that is currently set to expire at the end of the month) – it offers over $1,100 in savings compared to purchasing the M-P and the lens separately and this is without taking in consideration the extra leather accessories.

The M-P 240 Safari set is currently sold out at most retailers – it was a limited production run of 1,500 pieces. A limited edition olive green M-P camera will most likely keep a better value over time compared to a regular M-P version. There are even special ThumbsUp for the Leica M-P (Typ 240) Safari edition camera.
