Long time lurker but this will be my first post.

Came across the following URL about upcoming Leica M Special Editions:

I don't own a Leica myself but the M3-P looks awesome.

I'd like an M9-P in chrome but I think I would wait for the M10. I would sell the Noctilux which is much in demand. Thanks for posting. Welcome too.

Lord, I'd hate to think what the price of that Noct will be.

heh Leica hasnt abandoned their special edition tradition. good its not their *only* income anymore! 😀

This one does look nice. Just swap that silly bloated lens for a Summicron and you'd be right to go! 🙂

One word. Elephantitis.

Creativity???
Come on, a M3 cap on a MP; a MP cap on a M9, this is recycling not creativity... 😉

The .95 Noct is heavy enough in black. In silver chrome brass it must weigh a ton.

Is that M3-P for real? They've even got the bezels round the VF and RF windows; it's a metered M3, isn't it? I'd rather have that than an M9!

Well the hammertone M9-P has already been spotted in Japan 🙂

How about a bigger shooting buffer and some weather-sealing, instead of fancy paint and chrome?

Nice camera but my bank account can't support it unfortunately
