Leica à la carte lets you choose from more than four thousand variations in style and technical details.
You begin by selecting a Leica MP or M7. Then you decide on a dizzying area of options, including lens cap color; leather trim; viewfinder frame-lines; controls; and personalized engraving.
Even if you’d never dream of spending this much, it’s fun to play with the online Configurator. I found that I had expensive taste — my bespoke Leica came out to $5,510.
