They look nice and certainly outside of my price range, otherwise, I'd take one of each.

What's the over/under on odds that one of these 40 cameras will be used to take photos?

I really like the inconspicuous D-Lux 5 in the list. 🙂

 

[Rowse]

Well, the Kings, Princes, and other billionaires who can actually get one of these gems probably don't have the time to actually take photos with them.😀

Looks like ffordes is getting a special edition too: http://www.ffordes.com.

Good shops, of course.

If I had one I would be reluctant to use it. I had rather have something I could actually get some use out of.

That Noctilux looks ridiculous. It's a cool lens, but I have no desire to ever use/own one.

Ridiculous for a lens, but it would make an awesome mug, yeah?

Or maybe an exhaust pipe resonator tip.

Do store-branded Leicas, bearing "Leica Shop" or "Ffordes" logos, command a premium, or a discount?

Heck, why not at least use it - owning it is an entirely different matter... financially.

Yeah, I want one, too.

I prefer my M4-P over any M3-P / M9-P ... 😀

Actually I kind of like the retro-look M3-P, though I think a more appropriate name would have been MP-3. And if these special editions had been paired with the 50/1.4 they would have looked better proportioned but I guess stuff like this is for the buyer who must have "the best" - as in "the most expensive" - whether or not a Noctilux is actually better for most purposes.

Then again I have always had a thing for "Safari" M-bodies; I love how they look as a body-only and the color seems to suit both black and chrome lenses. But that's just me...

Because the lens is massive. It's heavy and will block out a large portion of the viewfinder. The fast aperture is nice, but not worth it (for me).

I wonder if this is why Leica can't keep the shelves stocked with their "normal" cameras and lenses...

 

[Paul Luscher]

Does this mean Seal will get one of these?

 

[andredossantos]

If I had one I would be reluctant to use it. I had rather have something I could actually get some use out of.

That's why if I ever found myself with one I would immediately sell it and buy 5 user bodies. Not to mention an entire host of lenses, compact and large in all speeds. Then Id take the rest of the cash and go on vacation 😀

No, he'll get the Seal Team 6 special edition.

No, he'll get the Seal Team 6 special edition.

LOL Nice! A Snipers Choice of course.
