A Very Special Leica M-A Camera Goes On Auction

Leica certainly knows how to make an impression via auctions, and this upcoming one is probably one of its most significant. This fall, a very unique Leica M-A camera paired with a Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH. lens, both engraved with the number 5,000,000, will be auctioned. This special set was personally presented to Pope Francis in 2024. Now, just months after his passing, it will be available at the 47th Leitz Photographica Auction on November 22 at the Hotel Imperial in Vienna.
