John,

That lens is so loud. LOL.

Mucho style.

Cal, they need a red body to go with it.

John,

That would be so rude. I like it.

I have red high tops to match. LOL.

want ! ! !

 

[Jockos]

I like it, I would never buy it, but it looks nice!

Would pair it with a chrome camera though. Probably a M3!

 

[Brooklynguy]

subtle...
Great for street shooting.

Jimmy,

Me too, but highly unlikely. Lots of personality for sure.

John,

How bout naming the lens Rudolf or Rudy? Perfect lens for Christmas shooting.

Only 100 pieces made? More power to them if they can sell them. And I think they will.

 

[Richard G]

This is good. Now there will be a way to get one of these very cheap second hand. Anyone link me to a thread on stripping the finish?

 

[rfaspen]

Looks like anodized finish. No stripping that.

I think its supposed to be paired with that new M with ping-pong paddle covering. That's a pretty red camera...

Not the same red I think though...

Different strokes for different folks ......

..... that is one ugly lens!

John,

Check out the black 'dot', maybe they will sell it as an aftermarket part for people who can't stand those red dots on their lenses...

For some reason, I'm reminded of the phrase "Lipstick on a Pig". Don't know why; just came to mind. 😛

 

[sepiareverb]

Does have the stealth black dot.

 

[coogee]

...and the standard black focus tab and caps i'd guess. $8950 only stretches so far.

 

[CK Dexter Haven]

It's a baboon's a$$.

Pfff! Plebs. I want my 24k gold-plated one that comes with two manservants 😀
