Would you pay $23000 for a Camera?

 Leica is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the M rangefinder camera, but the most precious gift it’s giving for the occasion is for only 250 rich people and costs $22,995. The ludicrously expensive Leica M Edition 70 set includes a platinum-plated Leica M-A 35mm film camera with Leicavit fast winder, a matching 50mm APO-Summicron-M f/2 lens, and a metallic film container with a roll of black-and-white film.

A camera is fundamentally a tool for capturing images, and while technology can enhance image quality, the true value of a photograph largely stems from the photographer’s skill, creativity, and vision. Paying a premium for the latest camera may make sense for certain technical needs, but for many, it can be more about status than necessity. A $23,000 camera might showcase wealth, but it doesn’t make someone a skilled photographer.
