Review
The Leica M9-P is a minor change model of the Leica M9, and the M9 logo and the LEICA red badge on the front of the camera are gone. The main changes are the classic logo on the top cover and the sapphire glass on the LCD monitor, which were used on the limited edition model, and there are no functional changes to the camera.
The M9 has a major problem with the sensor peeling, but I sold my M9-P in good condition before I found out about the sensor peeling. I don’t know what would have happened if I had used it for a long time.
The M9-P was sold in many limited editions, including a model with a hammertone exterior and a special Summicron 35mm F2 attached, limited to 100 units, as well as a Hermes version, white, and red leather.
For a review of the camera itself, please see the Leica M9 page.
