Warning: Those with weak stomachs should avert their eyes quickly:
35/2 Summicron on eBay 😱

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

 

[crawdiddy]

Very fancy indeed! Isn't everything better gold-plated?

 

[filmfan]

The Chinese will be all over this I'm sure. To each, their own...

 

[rover]

It comes with an IROOA... what more could you want?

 

[Roger Hicks]

Can't see anything wrong with it, for anyone who is looking for a gold-plated Summicron.

Cheers,


R.

I think the next step is to de-gold it down to the brass, have a black paint job done, and then wear the paint to get a brassed Summicron. No?

🙂

 

[rogerzilla]

Damn...it's M-mount and won't fit my fake Luxus ;-)

 

[kermaier]

I think maybe it's intended to be extra stealthy for documentary projects shot at Ceasar's Palace, Las Vegas.

Again, Nikon is better than Leica; well, at least at this sort of collecting thang.

 

[bizarrius]

That would be the ugliest lens for my M9. :|

Gold M?

Gold M?

Interesting. Is there a likely special edition ~1965 M body known to be paired to it?

Uhhhh......hard for my eyes, but a perfec fit to this Leica M3 gold I would say.


:bang:

Too bad it is not an auction. I could have bid and gotten it cheap.

 

[huntjump]

complements this one well: http://cgi.ebay.com/Gold-plated-Lei...83872861?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item415a10025d

Bit more than my copy @ $250.. but it is gold...

I was thinking the same thing.

Ugly is the new Good Looking... 😀

 

[t6un]

Shouldn't there be a (golden) infinity lock on the focussing tab?

 

[aaron.tam]

That's disgusting.
