For the Nikon Shooter That Has Everything

[Steve M.]

This is definitely for the Nikon folks that have everything, except maybe taste. It's a Grand Prix model though. Vroom, vroom.

I think I'd have to have nothing before I thought about buying that. I'd also only take it out of the bag when no-one was around, not through fear of theft or mugging...just embarrassment!

Damn. Now I have the hots to redo my FM3a in snakeskin.

Cobra maybe. Dyed. Blue?

 

[Rodchenko]

Wow. That is ugly.

 

[Linkert]

Cocaine was 'the drug' during the 80's right?

 

[kshapero]

Nice but I already have 3 of them gold ones. Bling.

It is "real".

I propose to gold plate a Holga.

 

[GarageBoy]

You also need a matching Rolleiflex Aurum

 

[Moto-Uno]

After seeing what they're asking for a Nkon S2, maybe that is a good deal ?

In Japan they go for like $1,000-$1,500.

I have always been wondering what's underneath the gold plating - is it still the plastic used in regular FAs?

Too late.

Wow! That's beautiful!

See those for sale every once in a while (the gold FA Grand Prix). Interesting, only if one needed to complete a collection. But I wouldn't attempt to run film through it, or do anything more than handle it with cotton gloves. I'm no millionaire, so I'll never own one.

I can't afford the dental work I'd want to get done to match the camera. 😀

How dare you smile like that without the appropriate dental work!

But more (cough) seriously, surely the international network of Leica Owning Dentists provides substantial discounts to RFF members?

P.S. Full disclosure: I know a number of dentists, socially. None own a Leica 🙁
