Should I go for it ?

Should I go for it ?

I would like to shoot my dogs with it 😀

No *NEW* news here. They have been selling this set for this amount for a year...

I always wonder how they get their hands on those rare items at the first place.

When I win the North Carolina Educational Lottery I'm going to buy that kit. Should make a a good everyday carry around don't you think?😉

Seriously though, I wonder how Photo Arsenal got this kit? Anyone know?

 

[gb hill]

Ahhh!! Salgago auctioned the camera off to help the eco system by planting trees. Kudo's to Salgado!🙂

Just in case you have another $130 000 to spare. I saw this kit in Tokyo 10 days ago. You get many more lenses with this - and you save a lot of money on film as the camera is a 1/2 frame Nikon S3M. With film at around $5/roll - you would only have to shoot about 25000 rolls to be ahead of the game!
Personally, I find this kit more interesting than the Salgado stuff!

Question is :
when you use this kit in a desert, during a sand storm, do you use a filter?

 

[gb hill]

Tom, that Nikon kit would be perfect to shoot for our RFF half frame celebration. Would of been nice if you could of stayed in Japan a while longer to visit the Oly-Pen 50 years exibition of half frame cameras & captured a few photos.

Hmmm. What to do, I was going to bid on this prototype M3:

Buy both, after a bit of use 🙂eek🙂 you can always keep the one you like the most and resell the other one.

New M7 = $4400
New 50/1.4 = $4200
New 90/2 = $3500
New 28/2 = $3900
Case probably = $300
Total = $16,300

So it's only 8 times the price of a new kit... not too bad. :-D

The easy-to-remember serial number has got to be worth another $10k.

What's the problem?

Things are worth whatever anyone is willing to pay for them.

cr*p, I was going to buy that with my winning ticket. I would shoot it for thirty years straight and then shelve it, all brassy and dented.

And every day I worked with it I would love it and remember the donation to the planets health I made when buying it.

No use to put it on a shelf from the start, it's not a coversation piece, it's a camera. You use it. I hope the new owner is be a RFF fellow, and that he will shoot it!

😀 Ah, you didn't take into consideration this is made out of solid Titanium! 😀

That prototype M3 with watch Summikron (with a K) is way cooler then this special edition m7. That m3 is a piece of history and believed to be the earliest M camera known! This titanium m7 was designed as a collectors item...

it's a phylantropy, social project thing: Salgado has land and funds a social project there. He plants trees, builds jobs etc.. KIngs and actors, friends of Salgado, fund it. One of them probably bought the specially made for him Leica. Salgado is not a Leica nut... He is a prophotographer w/ a heart and political view.
it has nothing to do w/ market value.

I am getting older I would like this set as it is lighter to carry!!
