The camera, lens and flash kit will come in a hard carry case and will be accompanied by a pair of brushes designed to keep the textured surface of the camera clean.

Only 79 kits will be produced world-wide, and when they become available in November they will be priced at $14,950/£12,500.

For me .... hideous! 😱 😱 😱

Wait, is that The Onion?

For some reason this makes me think of bathrooms mats.
And why 79 kits?

Did they release this about 6 months early (or late). Really.

I wonder why 79? Surely they can't sell that many. Unless you like the red font, you could always re-skin it...

The covering "responds to the scale of the camera with millimetre precision."

Huh?

Gibberish.

Huh?

Gibberish.

Apparently a millimetre is "precise" now... Wow, what a feat, millimetre precision, unlike every other camera covering that fails miserably. 😕

I'm shocked it isn't April 1st.

Love it. You're buying a piece of contemporary art that is also functional.
