D-Lux 4 camouflage for Safari limited edition

Few photographers, even the most enthusiasts, can afford a Leica M8, even less so in its wonderful limited edition, Safari. But if you like the brand, Leica lets you access this dream with little charge: Leica copies the Safari limited edition on the compact D-Lux 4, a Panasonic LX3, excellent BTW, re-named Leica. The LX3 by Panasonic is already one of the most beautiful cameras on the market, and the Leica D-Lux 4 in titanium version outbids it in terms of glamor and appeal. Today, the Safari drives the point home and targets lovers of beautiful things.

Gifted with a generous aperture (F.2 to  F2.8) and 24-60 mm range of zoom, the D-Lux 4 can be completed with accessories sold as options: a viewfinder, a flash and a handle.
