[OdDbaLL]

Can the OP tell us where he got the picture from?

There's a mention here:

No doubt the Polar Expedition Model we have been hearing about.

Shouldn't it be road sign orange or something like that? Like this, you'll lose it when dropped at your feet

 

[Tuolumne]

I'd call that the albino M8.

I think cheesy gold anything on a Leica is reserved exclusively for the Chinese market.

I think Cheesy gold would go over in Wisconsin as well.

some of our fellow.RFFers have had a weakness for ... ehhh ... "not-so-pretty" gear in the past.

Leica may as well take the M8/8.2 as far as appliance maker KitchenAid with their color of the week mixers.

 

[wblanchard]

It's the professional version, like canon has their professional len's white..this is leica's answer.

Ok...I hate to say this but rumor I heard is that the next M8.2 speical will be "pink" and .000001 % of profits will go to "politically correct" terminal illness of the month club. This white "monster" again further proof of how out of touch the people in the upper management and new owner of Leica is !!
Sad but True......Gee ever wonder why Leica is no longer the industry leader.

All the best...Laurance

Kind of reminds me of a prop from a Garth Brooks video 'The Red Strokes'

Talk about a head-turner...

Star Wars Stormtrooper Special Edition?

Ha! my thoughts exactly! ... blends nicely with the digs so it's uber stealthy...

 

[Ken Shipman]

oh my gawd. i wonder if a long white canon bazooka can be fitted.

 

[hans voralberg]

With all honesty, I like it! Because my fav color combination is red on white haha.

 

[rbiemer]

I don't think it looks bad, exactly, but kind of limited use; you couldn't use it after Labor day...

That aint no M8...


It's the new Leica iCamera.

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

Stormtroopers were notorious for their bad aim... hopefully that doesn't translate to shooting photos!

That's why there's autofocus in every digital Nikon

 

[Ronald_H]

That's why there's autofocus in every digital Nikon

That as may be, but after four AF bodies I know shoot almost exclusively with manual focus hardware

No matter how good AF, it still often focuses where I don't want it to. I'm not as fast as AF, but a heck of a lot more accurate!

 

[jgrilo]

It looks like an Apple edition of the M8: The iM8

 

[DougFord]

Looks like Rudy is Leica management material.
If it weren’t for leica’s past, I’d say Rudy was milking the M8 for all its worth.

 

[Bill Blackwell]

I actually think I'm going to throw up!
