Leica loves to produce ultra special editions of its high-end cameras. The latest example is this $14k Hermes edition of the M7. Yes, $14,000 dollars for a film-based camera.

Now, if you happen to be from what Rush Limbaugh likes to call the “job creating class”, you better get your name on one of these quick. There will only be 100 produced under the Hermes name.
