Leica cameras can act like a time machine on us. Just looking at them takes us back half a century into the past. Half a century ago, among other things, the Woodstock music festival, the Flower Children's Festival took place, where Jim Marshall skilfully caught the performers in the photographic lens. His signature can be found on many photographs of rock stars of the time, from the Beatles and Led Zeppelin to Miles Davis. As a tribute to him, Leica decided to produce a Jim Marshall version of the M246 camera.
Leica M246 JM, with which you will only be able to work black and white footage, has an extremely attractive retro look due to the brass. Lens Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 ASPH, also 'dressed up' in brass, offers the best in its class. The camera is adorned with two more The Marshalls characteristics, namely his signature on the upper part of the case and brown leather strap, just like the one the legendary photographer used on his Leica models M4.

For the good ones 11,000 euros get in line for the device quickly, as they will only make it 50 copies. And they will only be sold to you in USA, so we will probably wipe our noses for them.
