Leica @ Photokina day 2

David Farkas continues his detailed coverage of Photokina (many Leica S2 updates inside). The Leica M9 Titanium edition is not only a price and cosmetic-wise different than a regular M9. One of the main changes on the inside is the elimination of the small window that gathered light to display the frame lines with a LED illumination (I heard also that the M9 Ti has a new shutter). David Farkas took a picture of how the new LED illuminated frame lines look through the viewfinder of the Leica M9 Ti:

Leica M9 Titanium limited edition is currently being unveiled at the “Leica Design Preview” (updated)

By LR admin | Published: September 20, 2010

Leica M9 Titanium limited edition will be limited to 500 pieces. Made out of solid titanium. It will cost an arm and a leg – probably more expensive than the Leica S2 (update: the price of the Leica M9 Titanium set will be 22,000 EUR). The frame lines will be illuminated by LED. The hand strap will come in two sizes. There will be also a newly designed holster. More details coming soon.
