Apple Surprises Photographers with Ultra Fancy ‘Shot on iPhone 6’ Photo Books

Earlier this year, Apple launched a global ad campaign called "Shot on iPhone 6" that featured the company's favorite iPhone 6 photos, which were captured by 77 different photographers. The iPhone 6S has since replaced the 6, but Apple hasn't forgotten about how the photographers helped the phone become yet another hit.

The company has begun shipping out fancy cloth-covered coffee table photo books to the photographers as a special "thank you" gift.

This Rare Leica Noctilux 50mm f/1 Lens Comes with Its Own Humidor

Here's one way to identify a pricey lens: it comes with a dedicated luxury humidor for humidity control. Back in 2008, as Leica was ending a manufacturing run of its Noctilux 50mm f/1 lens, the company decided to release the last 100 units as a special edition. Each of the lenses was shipped with a special humidity control box crafted in Paris, France, by Elie Bleu, which makes high-end humidors for cigar aficionados.

Watch Limited Edition Fine Art Prints Sawed to Pieces After an Exhibition

If you love fine art photography, or are a big fan of Alexia Sinclair's work, this is definitely not a video for you. After exhibiting her wonderful "A Frozen Tale" series, the Skoklosters slott museum did what every museum has to do after exhibiting limited edition prints: they hacked them to pieces.

The difference here is that Skoklosters slott attached a camera onto the saw so you could see the horror for yourself.

Gorgeous and Very Rare Leica MP Titanium Available for the First Time Outside of Japan

In April of 2007, to commemorate their first anniversary, the Leica Store Ginza in Tokyo, Japan released the beautiful camera above: a Leica MP Titanium limited edition that was only created in a single run of only 150.

Since then, the only place to get one of these has been at the Ginza store in Tokyo. But now, buyers outside of Japan have the rare opportunity to grab one of these gorgeous shooters through the Leica Store Miami... assuming, of course, that you've got $40,000 to drop on a film camera.

Ricoh’s Gunmetal-Gray Limited-Edition Pentax K-3 Looks Like it Could Beat Up Your DSLR

Leica and Hasselblad should take a page out of Ricoh's book: when you release a limited-edition camera, you don't slap a hello kitty sticker or some fancy wood on it. You do what Ricoh did with the limited-edition Pentax K-3 'Prestige' and cover the thing in gunmetal.

Make no mistake, this K-3 can beat up your K-3... or pretty much any other DSLR you own.

New Special Edition Leica M Monochrom Will Only Set You Back a Cool $21K

What happens when a camera company already known for their high prices teams up with somebody for a special edition camera? Exactly what you think happens, as illustrated by this collaboration between Leica and Nordic Foto Imports.

In celebration of Nordic's 25th anniversary, the Leica M Monochrom is taking the leap from expensive, to borderline ridiculous.

Hasselblad Unveils a Limited Edition Lunar, ‘Good Fortune Indulgence’ for Only $10K

Within much of the photography community, the Hasselblad Lunar and Stellar are something of a running joke -- rebranded Sony cameras that slap on exotic and/or luxurious materials and sell for thousands more than the originals.

But just in case buying a standard Sony NEX-7 Hasselblad Lunar isn't luxurious enough for you, the company is releasing a more expensive limited edition that will only find its way into 200 hands.

Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Against Photog, OKs Reprinting of “Limited Edition” Pics

If you sell a number of prints of a photograph as a "limited edition," should you be allowed to later reprint that photo in a different size, format, or medium and then sell the new pieces as a new edition? Apparently the US legal system believes the answer is "yes."

A judge has dismissed the lawsuit filed against photographer William Eggleston by art collector Jonathan Sobel, who claimed that Eggleston's decision to sell new prints of old photos hurt the value of the original "limited edition" prints.

Pentax Announces Special Edition Q10 Designed for Evangelion Anime Fans

It seems camera companies are trying to target Japanese anime fans these days. In September 2011, we wrote about how Leica had teamed up with the designer of Gundam (not to be confused with Gangnam) for a limited edition mech-themed V-LUX 30 digital camera.

Now Pentax, the king of bizarre special edition cameras, has forged an anime partnership of its own. The company has announced a limited edition line of Q10 mirrorless cameras that carry Neon Genesis Evangelion branding and colors.

Apple’s Jonathan Ive to Design a Single Uber-Limited Edition Leica M

Do you love the design of Apple products? Do you have infinitely deep pockets? If you said yes to both questions, then I have some good news for you.

At Leica's special event last night, after the new Leica M was announced, company owner Dr. Andreas Kaufmann revealed that they've got a very special limited edition version of the camera planned -- one that's designed by legendary Apple designer Sir Jonathan Ive.
