In comemoration of the new "P"OTUS elect ... oh wait... should be orange for that purpose! 😛

dumbest thing I have seen in a long time.

I never thought I'd say this about something so, um, loud... but I quite like it. I'd like number 88 please 😀

Put this thing on an M-P or MM and you have a Leica camera with the biggest red dot ever seen to date. Put it on anything else and you have two red dots which might look a bit weird.

Well, if I was a tea leaf looking for something to half inch I'd take one butcher's at it and ...

I remember when Hasselblad did the same thing. Only it was the bodies.

cost is $10,000? More?
I want such a lens as a loaner for a week.

Commemoration? WAIT WAIT WAIT?!
The D onald Tr ump is dead?! I didn't read about that!?

Buuuut… If the D onald is alive, then I suggest to commemorate Antonin Scalia with that lens 😉

Just Planning ahead 😛

Regardless of all the banter. I think it is mighty cool.

Pretty hard to justify, but part of my style in a joking way is to annoy people. This lens surely has the power to provoke.

Funny thing is it will make good pictures.

I would not be surprised if somebody buys this.
Nothing surprises about Leica any more.

In FSU schools all if not black or white was silly to wear. Well, brown, dark blue, grey. But for gim - white top, black bottom.
This

"red is not discrete for street"

is the same FSU, North Korea mentality, while in the free world some us are living it is quite opposite.
Put red lens on the blue camera, wear red hat and red boots, smile and people will accept it. But acting like a creep with black camera, grey clothes and shades on the face, hood on the head is new act of silliness!

 

[rybolt]

I see nothing wrong with exhibiting self confidence.

 

[back alley]

didn't pentax make differently coloured cameras a while ago?

Just Planning ahead 😛

He might actually buy one to document the wall. Or Kardashians. Not the tranny one, he needs something softer to hide that adam's apple.

I don't get it, it's not April 1st.
