Leica M3-P 20 Years Leica Shop Vienna Edition 2001 Year.

Leica M3-P “20 Years Leica Shop Vienna” Special Edition – No. 019/20

A highly exclusive Leica M3-P Special Edition produced to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Leica Shop Vienna. Only 20 sets were made worldwide; the offered example is No. 19/20, with camera body serial no. 3976352.

The camera represents a contemporary reinterpretation of the legendary Leica M3, combining the classic aesthetics of the original with modern functionality, including an integrated exposure meter. It features a silver chrome finish with traditional vulcanite cladding. The top plate is styled after the iconic M3 design, engraved with the Leica script and serial number, while the edition number is discreetly engraved on the accessory shoe.

The set includes a Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. lens in silver anodized finish. For this special edition, Leica produced the very first silver version of the 0.95 Noctilux as a unique one-off for the Vienna anniversary set. Only many years later did Leica Camera AG introduce a silver version into regular production, making this early edition historically significant and highly collectible.

The camera and lens are presented in mint condition, complete with the original presentation box, matching certificate, and full accompanying documentation.

A truly exceptional and extremely rare Leica set, combining heritage, exclusivity, and optical excellence — a centerpiece for any serious Leica collection.
