Canon LTM Awesome to the max. This Canon knows style.

Canon M39 M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
In Australia we have an old saying. "As flash (as in showy) as a rat with a gold tooth." usually applied to mean a person who is low class, flashy and covered in what the Americans call 'bling'.

This camera just about fits that description perfectly.
 
Frankly, I would buy it, but at a low price, considering I would have to invest in a deplating and at least a black repaint of the whole thing.
I think I prefer to buy a good camera.
 
The Canon IVSb2 is an excellent camera. I of course saying that knowing I paid @$1,250 less than this one is offered for. Mine isn't gold though, but it did have a lens and Walz filter/hood kit.
 
It won't be easy to remove the gold plating. Gold is a pretty inert metal. It only dissolves in aqua regia, but that will have dissolved the brass long before. Reverse electroplating requires sodium cyanide solutions that could kill half a city when not properly disposed. No, I'm afraid this poor camera is doomed to stay this way...😉

Ick. Sorry, but just ick. Whoever did that to a poor defenseless IVSb2 (a 2 is rare enough!) should be ... 🙁
