:Wow! that looks great. It makes me feel bad I sold the canon P
I had! :bang::bang:

 

[Archlich]

Kanto is superb, although I believe for the cost of the repaint you could get at least 4 nice Ps in Japan.

Oh, that's just wrong. That's not how the god of Canon meant for that camera to look. I used to own one. I'm sorry, but I can't look at it this. I feel sorry for the camera.

 

[Steve M.]

It reminds me of one of those red Fed 5 cameras. I'm not sure that's a good direction to go in.

[jsrockit]

I like it. There are plenty of standard Ps out there...

 

[Mackinaw]

Too garish for my tastes, but it certainly stands out.

It looks atrocious.

 

[Rogrund]

I wish I wouldn't have followed that link ...

 

[kaiwasoyokaze]

if you guys thought that was bad....then i shouldn't show you the link to a white M3 (painted in similar fashion) i saw on the classifieds here in HK....

 

[nikon_sam]

I like it...Also like the Nikon F after...too pretty...

white M3??

white M3??

Apparently several approved of the M3. Out of curiosity, I followed the link, and got to the auction with 38 min left. Sitting at $1125... no, I didn't pull the trigger. I like my own M3 au natural. I also prefer my black P, but I'm a dull old curmudgeon, so what do I know.

First time I looked at this. Not bad but too pretty to use. Since my begining this hobby 40+ years ago I've always had users, you know, the 'scratch and dent' stuff. Then you don't have to worry about it much and can often get a good deal on not so pretty stuff.

Only paint scheme that could be worse to my eye would be Pink. Yes a Canon P(ink).

 

[hausen]

I love it, I love bright colours. The white paint looks great too.

 

[aizan]

they definitely get the imperial theme across.

generally, pure white is a bit harsh. ivory with nickel would look nicer, imo.

 

[Al Patterson]

I like the P the way Canon made them originally.

Now if you own one, you can do what you like, but I wouldn't buy the red one in the link.

 

[randolph45]

Wow !
Canon as art.
The F isn't bad either.

 

[Chinasaur]

I started to hate it but when I realizied the White paint was fresh and how well everyting else was executed, I realized I liked it. I wouldn't carry it but it works. Nice job.
