The auction item description:
This one-off model of the LEICA D-LUX black paint has exclusively been produced for the world- famous singer and Leica photographer Bryan Adams in 2004 and comes with a unique range of accessories. The LEICA D-LUX up for auction comes in a specially made, high- quality box. The offer also includes a certificate personally signed by the executive managers of Leica Camera AG and a single copy of the LEICA D-LUX brochure with fine metal binding (with Bryan's signature etched into the metal binding). The high-quality leather case accessory was specifically produced for this special model. Besides the camera the lot also contains a hand-signed self-portrait which Bryan Adams took with the LEICA D-LUX and a second portrait of him holding the black LEICA D-LUX by well know photographer Michael Agel. Both photos are framed in exclusively designed mounts. WestLicht Photographica Auction will donate the proceeds from the auction to the Bryan Adams Foundation, a non profit organisation which will fund various worthwhile causes.
