Each one of the 60 limited-edition cameras costs 199,900 yuan (about US$30,000), and is individually numbered from 1949 to 2009. The cameras, wrapped in red calfskin, say “Long Live the People’s Republic of China” in red calligraphy and sport a Tiananmen Square pattern. I’m pretty sure you’re going to have to be someone pretty important (and in China) to get one of these, but if you’ve got 30 grand and a connection, Leica’s probably not going to say no.
