New Limited editon M8.2 at PMA

I have heard that a Sahara edition of the M8.2 will be announced at PMA.

Not sure if anyone really cares.... Just thought I would post.

is this in an elegant taupe or bright white rather than the puke green of the Safari edition?

Maybe it's the desert camo version perfect for carrying through war zones in Afghanistan?

I believe it comes with sandy grit on the sensor.

I like the self portrait in your avatar

Luckily ... no matter what repulsive incarnations they inflict on it it will still be a good camera. I wish they'd stop doing this though ... but I guess if it keeps Leica solvent they can bring out the pink Paris Hilton edition for all I care!

Nothing new. The first specials were in the late 1920-ies: 100 lizardskin-and-gold plated, 100 (iirc) snakeskin-and-goldplated. Quite ugly really. Btw I quite like the Safari version, if I were buying an M8 right now I might go for it.
I wonder why nobody ever flamed Voigtlander for their Safari Bessas

The tall poppies are the ones that will always attract the attention!

It's a personal thing I guess but in black or silver the Leica oozes class to me ... but if others like the various looks that's good too!
