Leica MP gold People’s Republic of China 60 years commemorative edition camera
Leica Store San Francisco has a rare Leica MP gold People's Republic of China 60 years commemorative edition camera for sale at $49995. The full set of the same model sold for over $85k back in 2013. Here is the camera description from the product listing:
Sixty of these MP gold sets were made to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China in 2009. The body, #3831507, is gold plated and covered in red calf's skin. The lens is the 50mm1.4 Asph, #4073368. This set does not have the edition number. This is not uncommon in special editions for Leica to produce a few units as production samples, which are outside of the numbering of the edition. We have seen this with the current M60, the M9-P Hermes and the Paul Smith X2, just to name a few. This one comes with the lens, cap and display box. There is no outer box or paperwork present. The camera has seen very slight use as there is evidence of the mounting of a strap on the camera. This is a very rare and uncommon camera to see, especially here in the USA!
The full list of used Leica gear at the SF store can be found here.

Vladimir Panasenko’s exhibition “C’est La Vie in B&W” at the Leica Store San Francisco
From the Leica Store San Francisco - the Vladimir Panasenko's exhibition "C’est La Vie in B&W" is now open till July 2nd, 2015 (pictured above are his modified Leica M2 cameras):
C’est La Vie in B&W
Vladimir Panasenko April 21, 2015 - Thursday, July 02, 2015
The gallery at Leica Store San Francisco is thrilled to present a world premier exhibition, C'est Ia Vie in B&W, a collection of photographs by Vladimir Panasenko.Born in 1939 in Kharkov, Ukraine, at the age of ten Vladimir Panasenko emigrated to the United States with his family who, swept away by the war, chose San Francisco, CA for their new home. Known on the streets simply as Vladimir, he has called the Bay Area his home ever since. Vladimir is an incredibly prolific artist who has photographed the streets of San Francisco for over three decades now. Unlike a lot of Leica specialists, Vladimir's influences include outlaw Billy the Kid, race car driver Juan Manuel Fangio and WWII ace Erich Hartmann. From these he learned to increase his reaction time and to follow three rules: always take your subject by surprise, always shoot from the closest possible distance, and break away immediately after shooting.
Vladimir's extensive body of work is as astonishing as any discovered in recent years. Working Women. Pursuit of Pleasure. Rich & Poor. Homeless. Birds. Pairs. These are the themes that comprise C'est la Vie in B&W. Vladimir's favorite area to photograph has been and continues to be Mid Market Street, with its bustle and wide mix of people. His photographs study the lives of the very rich, the very poor and everyone in between. Each image is powerful on its own, and when viewed in pairs the effect is breathtaking.
Vladimir's cameras are an important part of his work and his craft extends to his custom Leica film cameras with their wood and brass. When asked about them, Vladimir states, "I would like to quote ancient Ukranian folk wisdom: If you want a wife who will always stay by your side, marry someone so ugly that nobody will want to touch her. I am married to my Leica M2's. I chose them because I could see that Leica would never make anything better, and because they will be with to "Till death do us part," I can modify them in any way that optimizes their fulfillment of their mission. Resale value is for whores. C'est Ia Vie."
Exhibition reception: May 7, 2015, 6pm-8pm- RSVP HERE
In addition to silver gelatin prints, a postcard set consisting of five photographs will be offered at the start of the exhibition and be limited to a small edition. Once the set is sold out, the postcards will no longer be available but other sets will be made available in the future. The set is $20, contact us at (415)-801-5066 for more information or to purchase one.
