From Leica:

Leica Camera AG honored Woody Allen, director, comedian, actor, photographer and musician, with a special LEICA M8.2 camera bearing the serial number of 3,555,555. The camera was presented by Leica Chief Executive Officer Dr. Andreas Kaufmann, to Mr. Allen at a private reception in New York City on November 3rd, 2008.

“Woody Allen represents the highest caliber of artist - one who is skilled in all aspects of the creative world - and we have the utmost respect for him and his work,” said Dr. Kaufmann. “By presenting him with this special LEICA M8.2, we hope it will accompany him in saving his memories in pictures with one of the best, and newest, cameras in the world. A Leica camera is always a tool in the hand of an artist.”

“Thank you to Dr. Kaufmann and Leica Camera for bestowing this special camera to me. It is a true pleasure and honor be a member of this group of personalities,” Mr. Allen added when receiving the camera and lens from Leica CEO Dr. Kaufmann.

Mr. Allen was the first recipient of this rare Leica honor in the category of moving pictures, selected because of his reputation and contributions to the film and art industries. In addition to being an avid photographer and Leica fan, Mr. Allen has used the brand in several of his movies, most recently, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”, released in the summer of 2008.

Since 1925, Leica’s honor of awarding cameras with special serial numbers has been reserved for outstanding individuals from the worlds of photography, scientific research, politics and society. Additionally, notable world figures have received these special edition cameras, such as Queen Elizabeth in 1958 and 1965, whose camera was engraved with her initials, and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1960, whose camera bears the serial number 980,000. (more…)
