“A while back, we heard that Apple visionary, Johny [sic] Ive would be co-designing a one-off Leica camera that would eventually be auctioned off for charity,” Stan Horaczek reports for Popular Photography.
“Now, photos of the camera have surfaced and we got something very close to what we expected,” Horaczek reports. “The camera will be auctioned off at the (RED) auction on November 23rd, and funds will go to fighting AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.”
“According to the press release, the camera is based on the Leica M and took nearly 561 models before landing on the final design,” Horaczek reports. “It took 725 hours of manufacturing time and is made from — you guessed it — aluminum.”
