I must be in the target market, since Leica spammed me with this link. 
I bought set 1 and set 2. I will report back with 640x480 jpegs for pixel peeping.

I hope they sell thousands... and use the money to subsidise the price of the M9, down to $1500 would be about right.

As tools go.. This is a Gold plated Hammer/Crescent Wrench/Scalpel/Backhoe... Fill in the tool for the trade.
As luxury items go... This is a really beautiful piece of design and technology. Much more useful and tactile than Jewelry and, much more interesting a to talk about (if you need something fancy to talk about).

Bought the set 2 ?!? "in a strictly limited edition of only 100 sets worldwide."??
What can I say... Congratulations.. My financial consultant did not find me qualified enough to order one.. So I ordered the camera strap only and now looking for a proper buckle to hold my pants up..

While it is outrageously priced this is one of the few limitted edition camera that actually looks Really Really nice. More of them are just garish or stupid looking

Chris, thank you for the inspiration I got from your samples. Now I will have my M3 airbrushed black and a friend silkscreen on it:
...."BobYIL 50 Years with Leica"
"Produced only one set worldwide "
