| Leica M8 White Digital Camera |
 Adeal is excited to announce the release of the special edition LEICA M8 “White”, featured with a white finished body.The LEICA M8 “White” is part of a limited edition and is presented as part of a special edition set. The M8 “White” set includes a LEICA M8 white finished camera body and silver anodised LEICA ELMARIT-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH lens with a metal lens shade in classical design and a silver UV/IR filter. Additional to this is a premium quality, real leather white carrying strap especially made for the “White” edition. The LEICA M8 “White” edition camera model is in a durable white paint finish that is characterised by a particularly comfortable feel and grip. The vulcanite leathering of the camera body also follows the colour scheme of the top plate, the base plate and the camera back. This special paint finish lends the camera a very unique appearance and underlines the camera’s status as an asset to all Leica collectors. The special edition LEICA M8 “White” is not the first Leica camera produced with a unique colour scheme. The olive green finish was previously used for two other Leica camera models: in the 1960’s, olive green-painted Leica cameras were supplied to the military and used for unobtrusive surveillance and documentary photography. The second olive green camera model, the Leica R3 ‘Safari’ first introduced in 1977 is today a much sought after and valuable collector’s item. The LEICA M8 “White” set will be available from Leica specialist dealers from late June 2009, although only a very small amount of cameras will be allocated to the Australian market.

About
Oskar Barnack's genius idea of creating the small format 35mm camera created a revolution in photography in 1925, paving the way for the birth of the Leica Legend. His diminutive, lightweight LEICA A offered a new, undreamed-of freedom in reportage and artistic photography. From that point to the present day, Leica has had a profound influence on our view of the world we live in.
What was started in 1914 with the Ur-Leica quickly turned into a lasting success. In 1932, around 90,000 cameras were already in use. By 1961, the number had increased to a million. Milestones in the development include the rangefinder cameras such as the legendary LEICA M3 in 1954 and the M6 in 1984. The R-System commenced in 1976 with the LEICA R3 - the first electronic Leica. In 1989, the first compact point-and-shoot model entered the market. 1998 also saw the launch of the first digital camera - the LEICA DIGILUX. Without exception, all developments are focused on the requirements of the user and are characterized by the highest quality, focus on essential functions, and comfortable user-friendly controls.
