If you thought bad taste was limited to brass Zorkis with swastikas, take a look at this gold-black-leopardskin Leica IIIf:

And this apparently isn't a Russian camera either, those didn't come with slow speed mechanisms. Someone seems to have done this to an actual Leica.
 
They should repaint it metallic purple and call it the Prince edition.
 
Hmm pretty funky, but the paint is rather a nice try at getting real close to seiden matt/semi gloss - RLM 75 Luftwaffe Grey :D - wonder who painted it?

Of course if your going to carry a camera like that you are required to sport this $60k solid gold Rolex Daytona. Complete with Cognac Sapphires, over 60 Diamonds and a leopard print dial.

No BS. I like it. Originality. individuality. Independent thinking.

I like bright colors and unusual things, and I really don't care for the very human tendency of ridiculing anything that fits outside a narrow norm.

So, while this is not my cuppa, I admire the effort.
 
I sorta like it...But what strap do you use with it...and don't show me that picture again, I'm talking about a camera strap...not a junk strap...
