It's GREEN!!!

[simonankor]

For those of you who love following the fake Leica craze as much as I do...

HERE is a funny paint job!

Enjoy 😉

This same seller keeps listing copies like this. Amazingly, some of the ones with these paint jobs don't sell!

He couldn't at least avoid painting the leatherette????

 

[Jeroen]

Is that Comic Sans he used for lettering?

 

[simonankor]

Think it's meant to be jungle camouflage, perhaps? War photographer's special, something like that? 😉

It's a Zorki 1D or later. Soviet army must have had some made up in jungle dress in case it was ever deployed to the tropics🙂

I guess this would go along with the jungle outfit / Swamp Thing costume that was posted to CVUG the other week for Street Photography.

The seller states that it's a Leica copy, althugh he also states that the lens is a Lens Leitz Elmar 1 : 3,5. Which is very unlikely.

So how much was the zorki worth before he butchered it?

 

[SolaresLarrave]

It looks like it was spray-painted... Not too well... And really shiny! Kinda defeats the purpose of the camouflage finish.

I'm sure this camera will look supercool with your fake Versace belt and fake Cartier sunglasses! 😀 😀 (see his other items for sale)

This is getting serious. We have enough competition for the good examples of these FSU cameras from people who will use them and NOW we've got them folks who must think we actually like them based on how much time we spend talking about them. If they weren't (accidentally I'm sure) inhaling so many paint fumes, they would be able to tell we are laughing at them, not with them.
I'm still waiting for the tie dyed "summer of love" commerative...or maybe I'll just get myself an air-brush and...sorry. I won't go there again. I promise. 😱 Except I have seen too many home improvement shows telling me how to apply faux finishes to just about any thing. Crud. I may have to find a monochrome monitor so these things won't tempt me.

Too bad the paint looks to be wearing off the outer edges of the lens already...

 

[Little Prince]

Maybe he thought the lens was not multicoated and decided to give it some green too 😉 .
